Collection: Hom Nguyen

Hom Nguyen was born in Paris in 1972. Having become the head of a family for his impoverished family at a very young age, he did not study art, but he has always been passionate about drawing. He is self-taught. Starting out as a shoe shiner to earn a living, he became a specialist in patinating designer shoes in 2009. He worked with leather colors and even drew on shoes. He then returned to painting and drawing. In 2009, he moved into a large studio in Bagnolet and in 2011 began producing monumental portraits on canvas. He notably worked with the designer Ora-Ito (in 2011), who introduced him to the world of art and design.
