Thinh
Ho Chi

My name is Ho Chi Thinh and I was born in Saigon, Vietnam on January 15th, 1993. As a child, I dreamt of being a musician but my parents imagined a different path for my future. To appease them, I studied business administration in California but always had a passion for the arts. Fortunately, as an adult, I discovered a strong connection with sculpture and have been pursuing this passion for the past five years. It has provided me with patience, peace, and joy. Though this started as a hobby, I am now pursuing a career in the arts and wish to have opportunities to share my work with others. My biggest accomplishment, as cliché as it may sound, is being a dedicated father to my two children. I encourage them to follow their interests and support them, always. Overall, I am grateful to have a wonderous life in Vietnam and look forward to broadening my horizons by applying to the Arte Laguna Prize 2024.
