Phuong is an italian painter, illustrator and photomodel based in Vicenza, Italy.
Born in 1991 in Cento (Ferrara) from a chinese-vietnamese family.
She started painting at the age of 4 after seeing her dad paint a beautiful red rose. Later her art path started during High School at Liceo Artistico Ex Martini (Vicenza) and then by attending the Venice Academy of Fine Arts - painting course.

She has exhibited her works worldwide in galleries, fairs and international festivals while posing as a muse for italian and international artists, specializing in art nude photography.

Her poetics is a constant pursuit of identity, balance and beauty. While seeking beauty in everyday life, even every detail that leads to bad feelings are kind of inspiring. Balancing between being vietnamese ( with strong chinese roots) and italian has always been a main focus in her works.

Passionate about analog photography since a child, she took part at her first Polaroid collective in 2019 during Iso600 Exhibition in Bologna, winning the first edition of Paoletti Foto Talent Prize.
She began using polaroid in 2019 as a medium and support to accompany her traditional painting works, finding the space of a frame an useful tool to tell a story and make it universal.
While painting is a maniacal necessity, photography began to follow her therapeutic moments, helping her to deal with the pain of living.
