‘I am interested in movements and gestures and the slight worry of waiting, hoping and remembering what has gone before. My sentiments are to paint pictures which promote hope for people who love them.’

Dzuy graduated from the Hanoi College of Fine Arts and the Fine Arts University of Slovenia, and is a member of Vietnam Fine Arts Association. After spending many years as a part-time set designer for the Vietnamese Theatre House, he has focused solely on painting since 1991.

Dzuy paintings are executed in a muted, almost monochromatic palette. His drawing skill and mastery of light and shade is such that his work is fresh and apparently effortless. The carefully contoured backs of his slender, beautiful nudes, suggest an inner peacefulness, and the occasional use of flowers reveals the artist’s romantic nature.
