France

Hom Nguyen, born in Paris in 1972, is a self-taught artist with an instinctive style.

Working with charcoal, gouache marker, oil or even pen, each of his paintings appears as a fight, a confrontation of the hand with the material which is born of a will: to reveal the depth of the being through lines and color.

Most of Hom’s work revolves around creating monumental portraits. The choice of colors, the application of the material or the liveliness of the gesture are always made to show the world its vision of the human being beyond appearances. His works capture and transcend the depth of feelings and the complexity of emotions that overwhelm the human soul.

His subtle representations deal with the duality of the visible and the invisible, the material and the immaterial. Thus, Hom Nguyen pushes each of us to a reflection, an introspection, on what we show of ourselves, what we try to hide and what we really are.
