Artist Spotlight: Phuong Nguyen aka Jacquell

Captivating watercolours by Saigon-born, Bologna-based artist Phuong Nguyen (aka Jacquell). Aiming to capture moments of fleeting and undisclosed feelings, Nguyen depicts figures of women suspended against a dark background and set alongside emblems of femininity from art and literature. While simultaneously jarring and whimsical, her work is ultimately about balance and harmony. See more paintings below.
