Mai Ta
Biography
1997 born in Vietnam
lives and works in Saigon, Vietnam
2019 Bachelor of Fine Arts and Illustrations, School of Visual Arts, New York
Working in gouache and oil, Saigon-based artist Mai Tạ (b. 1997) renders the architecture of her inner life. Her paintings map the psyche's terrain—its traumas, secrets, and memories—translated through a personal symbolic language. This sublimatory practice becomes, for the artist, a form of liberation: where guilt falls away, and expression becomes freedom.
