Hom Nguyen

Born in Paris in 1972, Hom Nguyen is a self-taught artist with an instinctive style and no complex. He is known for embracing, with talent, a genre that has been more or less neglected in recent years: the portrait.

This is probably one of the genres of painting where genius and technique are most needed, because it is infinitely difficult to know how to transcribe on a face painted all the expressions, personality and multiple details that make up each person’s uniqueness.
Hom Nguyen is part of a process of revelation.

His style is expressed by a committed approach, a dynamic and brutal trait, almost animal, reminiscent of the way of painting Jackson Pollock. It is his way of capturing facial expressions and unmasking the subject. In his portraits, we usually see the social mask, which Carl Jung defined as “the persona”.
