Nowadays, the art world is facing a visible evolution like every other field. As a result, many new artists have started to practice their own arts which are considered contemporary art to this day. It is difficult to change completely and art does not change, it only adapts to the time to which it belongs or even projects itself completely into the future. Also, there is no such thing as bad art, just the originality of the artist in question. Hom Nguyen is one of these contemporary artists, he specializes in portraiture more exactly.

Moreover, it is through the leather of the shoes that they begin these artistic works at the death of his mother in 2009. He then began by making the shoe patina. It is an artistic technique that aims to customize in his way the shoes.

Works of the artist that is Hom Nguyen

Coming from an immigrant family, the first works of Hom Nguyen mark the melancholy of his mother’s immigration to a new country. As a result, these early creations, if not almost every one of them, have a particularly oriental style. These works reflect these emotions in relation to the reality itself. In the art world, it is often said that the works reflect much more of the author’s life and personality and this is especially true of the artist Hom Nguyen. Besides that, many works are also known to the general public such as the portrait of Michelle Obama or the life in pink of Edith Piaf and there are still many others.
