Biography

Dive into the vibrant universe of Hien Tran, a passionate artist of Vietnamese origin. Coming from a background where art was absent, Hien fled the war in 1975 in search of a better future. It was not until 1993 that her encounter with art truly began, during the exhibition "The Awake Dreamer" by Alfred Pellan. This significant experience opened up an infinite world of possibilities and awakened in her an insatiable thirst for creativity

Throughout her journey, she met the paternal grandfather of her children, also an artist, who introduced her to the mystical lights of Brittany, a region where Impressionists had left their mark. Inspired by French art, Hien set out to create a personal style, blending her discoveries and her own perception of colors, despite her limited knowledge at the time. This artistic exploration was part of her quest for identity, within a world that was intimidating for a young woman seeking her place.

Out of fear of the uncertainty of a field that is often unstable, Hien put her passion for art on hold, choosing to devote herself to her family and work. However, over time and with moments of regained freedom, she decided to revive her emotions through art.

In recent years, Hien Tran has refocused on her artistic practice, rediscovering the enthusiasm and vitality of her beginnings. Her works are now a vibrant testimony to her resilience, her multiple influences, and her unquenchable passion for creation and colors.
