“CYCLE”
Artwork: CYCLE, by artist Dao Van Hoang
Species: Pacific reef Heron.

Size: 120x80cm
Framed.
CYCLE depicts a group of Pacific reef herons patrolling back and forth on the beach of Ninh Thuan, Vietnam. They come and go. But they never leave, just like the sun that rises and falls every day. The painting is representative of human beings’ resilience and perseverance: no matter what happens, we’ll always stand strong.
Hoang decides to donate this piece to Mask On as it shares the same meaning with the initiative. He believes that humanity is resilient enough to survive and overcome this pandemic. And hopefully, after this is over, we’ll learn to treat the environment and ourselves better in order to confidently step into a new phase, healthier and happier, of the cycle.
[Artist’s profile] Dao Van Hoang
Born in 1964, Hoang started to draw when he was two, with chalk on his mother’s concrete floor. That’s also when he developed a passion for wildlife, whilst accompanying his mother to the Saigon Zoo. Afterward, Hoang would return home and make picture books with photos of animals cut out from magazines.
In 1979, four years after the war ended, he left Vietnam by boat, as a refugee. After arriving in France in 1980, Hoang studied computing, and then worked in Paris, before returning to Vietnam in 1996. Soon after his return, Hoang joined an advertising agency, as an Art Director, and eventually rose to become Creative Director for several top creative agencies for more than 15 years. In 2013, Hoang decided to quit advertising and devote himself entirely to wildlife painting. Full time!
Since then, Hoang has completed numerous illustrations, commissioned murals and concept designs, for interpretation centers, national parks, and public spaces, all over Vietnam. He also contributes to educating children about nature and the environment in Vietnam with his art and illustrations.
Hoang has a preference for tropical regions, Africa, Central, and South America. And after having visited more than 25 countries in his life, Hoang continues to travel throughout the world to draw wildlife, nature.
His work consists of acrylic paintings on canvas, with a detailed and realistic rendering, portraying animals with typical poses and behavior in their natural habitats.
