Pham Ha Hai .
Born 1974, Hanoi, Based in Hanoi
Introduction.
Well-known as an abstract painter with many imprints and with soon-to-be-chosen theme of Eastern nature, Pham Ha Hai is known for his steadfast determination, only pursuing this spirit with hundreds of works of lotus, wild garden and wind. He offers a system of signals that leads the viewers into the stillness close to religious meditation. Each of his paintings is a gentle and delicate silence imbued with Eastern spirit.
From a visual artist who works in a variety of genres such as painting, graphic arts, performance and installation, and has achieved some early success, Pham Ha Hai chose to pursue the abstract style which is difficult for the crowd to understand and to feel.
Selecting this path, the artist understood that he was not easily welcomed, not easy to be famous and not easy to sell his paintings. But he always believes that every work that he has created will find its viewers who understand, sympathize and love. All the artist needs to do is making brush strokes, color patches and shapes on the canvas really come from the true vibe in his heart.
