Artist Statement:
Hello everyone, my name is Le Anh Tuan, I was born and live in Hue city, Vietnam. After graduating from Hue University of Fine Arts, I started painting and exhibiting and devoted all my time to artistic creation. At first, I painted realistic paintings but over time I developed a real passion for abstract expression expressed in paintings. I feel that my thinking is free and free when working with abstract forms of expression and this is the main focus of my work. I really love nature and put it into painting the way I think and here I can live with my imagination and creative ideas with colors and lines.
As a child, I was a boy dreaming behind the fairy tales told by adults and later developed into pictures by my thoughts. Painting is the exploration of the outside world as well as expressing one's thoughts about the world with colors and lines. Endless inspiration from nature has given me works of art and I desire. giving the public a fresh and wonderful feeling about the beautiful nature. Painting and music have enhanced my spiritual life so I want to share this beautiful spiritual life with the people I love all over the world.
Currently, I live and create paintings in Ho Chi Minh City, a vibrant city in all aspects, including a strong development in art. In Ho Chi Minh City, the opportunity for art interference is great with international exhibitions being held continuously, which has helped me have many opportunities to exchange and renew myself in the development of my painting art.
Please visit my paintings and enjoy them slowly!

Artistic Influences:
In the process of composing, the artists who have influenced me like Willem de Kooning, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso... in the artist Willem de Kooning, I'm really emotional about how to create images. bold and original in his use of shapes and strokes. With the painter's Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet, I was influenced by the use of color, the expression of bright light, and the vivid lines of their paintings. As for the artist Pablo Picasso, I love the unique way of shaping as well as the strength of the colors and lines in his paintings.
In my compositions, I often experiment with the techniques that I have influenced artists to find a suitable direction and for long-term development. Currently, I am pursuing a series of flower paintings in the abstract expressionist style that I like very much.
