Multimedia Artist - Illustrator & Designer

Tan Nhat
Nguyen

Born in 2006, Ho Chi minh City, Vietnam
Currently resides in Manhattan, NY

I make narrative-driven images across oil painting, editorial illustration, animation, and photography. Trained first in the foundational discipline of a Vietnamese design school and now studying B.F.A. Illustration at the School of Visual Arts, I aim to bring industrial and market-ready discipline to any production.

ARTIST STATEMENT

“My work lives where the story behind the artwork matters the most. That is where the inspirations, the motivations, the cultural heritages, the verbal messages live before being transfer into visual communication. I've found that once the concept is clear, the visuals arrive in a flood: compositions, colors, forms, more than I can hold. And when you're flooded like that, one medium is never enough. So I reach for as many as the story demands: painting, illustration, animation, writing — until the message is fully seen."
