My name is ThienNgan and I'm an industrial designer. I enjoy creating paintings both digitally and traditionally. For me, the word "Freedom" means that you can express yourself freely through your art and somehow bringing people together.

My ART4FREEDOM - the freedom to express yourself, (color)fully.
Each of us, no matter the gender, color or occupation, should be free to express ourselves, in the most natural and honest ways. It's like how the universe is composed of different, colorful and expressive stars and galaxies. We - the ones who made up that universe - should have the rights to live, to breathe, and to fight for what we believe. And to be as bright and colorful as we want to be. That's what it means to live and to have freedom. Besides, I love painting handsome young men ;-)
When creating this piece, I wanted to express the idea that nothing describes the freedom in creating art more than expressive and bold choices of colors and brush strokes. In this artwork, the portrait is expressed in a way that is actually more highlighted in the additional elements, like background and brush stains. Somehow, I hope the result ended up more striking and attractive to look at than just a normal smoothly-done portrait art and it can serve its cause as a true attention- and awareness-claiming ART4FREEDOM. IAM4FREEDOM!
