Dao Hai Phong was born in 1965, the son of the well known artist Dao Duc. He studied at the Hanoi College of Film and Theater from 1982 to 1987 and was awarded for his exceptional designs at the Vietnam Film Festival. His major medium is oil on canvas. Although he had painted as a hobby from the age of six, it was merely after his graduation day that Phong started to focus on developing his distinctive painting style.

Phong’s pulsating colors draw one’s eye to the key elements of his paintings and highlight their structural simplicity. Many of his paintings represent landscapes inspired by his travels as a film producer and are presented to us through the unique lens with which he observes the world.

Dao Hai Phong has exhibited widely in Vietnam and abroad. His work is collected by enthusiasts all over the world and is regarded as some of the finest among contemporary Vietnamese artists’.
