Casa Romantica celebrates Vietnamese-American artists with a solo art exhibition by Hùng Viet Nguyen called Sacred Journey. Known for his oil paintings of landscapes on wood panels, his vibrant work has been exhibited all across California, and metropolitan cities such as New York City and Miami.
Artist Bio
Hùng Viet Nguyen was born in Saigon Vietnam in 1957. He studied Biology at Science University, then transitioned to working as an illustrator, graphic artist, and designer since settlement in the U.S. in 1982. He developed his artistry skills independently, studying many traditional Eastern and Western forms, media, and techniques. Nguyen’s compels, labor-intensive investigations of oil paint reveal a methodical mastery of textures. We interviewed Hùng and asked him some questions about his background and creative process.
