Tim Nguyen was always interested in art since childhood. He studied art all the way through college at Hanoi University. He began his career as a interior designer but painting has always been his passion. After a visit to Hawaiʻi, he fell in love with the islands, and moved his family to Oʻahu where he has achieved great success and recognition in his Gauguin style figurative oil paintings. His tropical warm colors and inspired land/seascapes are a delight to view and bring a smile to your face.He is now collected worldwide and travels back to his home in Vietnam to create lacquer paintings and also lacquer products in his unique style. All of his original oil paintings at this site are created here in Hawaiʻi where he resides full time.
