La Méditation

A student of the École Supérieure des Beaux Arts de l'Indochine in Hanoi and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Le Pho was taught Western styles but encouraged by his mentors to incorporate his own culture’s style and techniques into his work. The result is a harmonious composition that marries Le Pho’s Western influence and his Eastern culture in subject and theme. With his elegant and elongated figures, his style is that of the peaceful Surrealist, influenced by the figures of the Mannerist painting movement. La Méditation is truly an experience where you are drawn into the peaceful tranquility that exudes and epitomizes Le Pho’s work.
