I 

Artist's statement

My painting practice is rooted in process rather than representation. I begin without a predetermined image, allowing gestures, layers, and materials to interact freely on the canvas.

Forms emerge, expand, destabilize, and sometimes dissolve. I am drawn to this cycle of construction and disappearance — a movement that echoes natural rhythms rather than narrative intention.

Nature is not depicted directly, yet its forces — growth, tension, erosion, renewal — inform the structure of each work. The painting develops through a balance of control and release until it reaches its own internal necessity.
Each canvas becomes an event shaped by time, transformation, and attentive observation.

Artist Biography

Nguyen Hoang Huy, known as Tamhuy, is an abstract painter from Hanoi, Vietnam. He grew up immersed in Vietnam's cultural richness, where his early fascination with art first took shape.

In 2011, a transformative journey to India introduced him to Buddhist philosophy and meditation. The spirit of non-attachment became central to his creative process, allowing gestures to arise naturally — without expectation or desire for outcome.

Tamhuy moved to Paris in 2012 to pursue his artistic path. He studied drawing and painting at the École des Beaux-Arts de Versailles, graduating with honors in 2017 and completing a post-diploma program in 2018.

His work, influenced by Zen presence and the experimental freedom of Gutai artists, explores transformation, inner movement, and the quiet tension between chaos and harmony. Construction and deconstruction coexist on his canvases, where forms appear, transform, and dissolve, guided by intuition and the rhythms of nature — found without looking for.
