Nguyen Dinh Dang of Vietnam
Detail from "The
Legend of Pearl" by Nguyen Dinh Dang
Painting Copyright © by Nguyen Dinh Dang
Nguyen Dinh Dang was born in Hanoi, Vietnam, in 1958. He began drawing at age five and became an outstanding student. He hoped to become a professional painter but the Vietnam war and lack of painting materials restricted his work and made it difficult for Dang to pursue a living as a painter. This did not dampen Dang's passion for painting but the war led him to pursue a career in science.
For the past two decades, Dang's painting has shifted from impressionism to surrealism, whose most eminent representative, Salvador Dali, remains one of Dang's favorites. Once he gets an idea, he spends nights and weekends painting. A self-taught painter, Dang believes it is not important to explain the literal context of any artwork. "In the creative process of both art and science, the most important thing is intuition. You feel something intuitively. You cannot explain how it comes to you," he says.
Dang's paintings include nudity. His paintings, and the nude paintings of other artists in Images of Eyes Gallery II, can be accessed from this link.
