Celebrated for his evocative figurative works and collaborations with esteemed brands such as Franck Muller and McLaren, Hom Nguyen’s new series draws inspiration from his acclaimed “The Woman” collection and the timeless celebration of Mother’s Day. The exhibition pays homage to the depth, resilience, and layered emotions that define femininity, expressed through Nguyen’s signature expressive brushstrokes and layered portraits.
Devine Feminine offers visitors an immersive journey into the complex world of femininity, capturing its multifaceted nature through powerful imagery and compelling storytelling. Nguyen’s mastery in blending vivid colour palettes with layered textures invites viewers to reflect on the intricate layers that comprise womanhood.
The exhibition will be hosted across three exceptional venues — Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel, Anantara Golden Triangle, and Anantara Chiang Mai Resort — each offering a unique setting where art, culture, and luxury intersect. Visitors are invited to embark on a regional artistic journey, experiencing Hom Nguyen’s powerful tribute to femininity in diverse and inspiring environments, celebrating this universal theme through his masterful expression.
A NEW CHAPTER: THE GAZE AS LANGUAGE
With MĀEYE, Hom Nguyen ventures into a new aesthetic and emotional territory. For the first time, he steps away from depicting entire faces to focus on a single, intimate, and universal motif, the gaze.
In this series, eues are no longer just facial features—they are mirrors of the soul, carriers of intergenerational emotions, and silent storytellers. The exhibition explores the profound bond between mother and child, rendered in eyes filled with trust, tenderness, and unspoken love.
These are not portraits of individuals; they are portraits of relationships, of connection, of what passes in silence from one generation to the next. Through these close-up visions, Hom Nguyen composes a visual dialogue about care, loss, transmission, and protection.
A FEMININE ENERGY ROOTED IN THAI CULTURE
The artist’s reflection on « motherhood » and femininity finds a natural resonance in Thailand, where feminine energy is omnipresent—in beliefs, rituals, and everyday gestures. In a culture that honours motherhood, empathy, and the spiritual power of women, Hom Nguyen's work takes on added depth and symbolic weight. For Hom Nguyen, whose heritage is Southeast Asian, Thailand is not just an exhibition setting—it is a landscape of memory and identity. This cultural proximity strengthens the emotional charge of the project and offers viewers a unique opportunity to experience his work through a local, spiritual lens.
THREE VENUES – THREE PERSPECTIVES
At Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel and Anantara Chiang Mai Resort, visitors will discover a collection that embodies the emotional ties between mothers and children. These pieces capture moments of silent understanding, of unconditional love, of gazes that speak louder than words. It’s a visual tribute to the often invisible, yet foundational, forces that shape us. Whereas, at Anantara Golden Triangle, located in one of the country’s most renowned elephant sanctuaries, the theme evolves. There, Hom Nguyen turns his gaze toward the elephants themselves—emblems of memory, protection, and spiritual wisdom. Moved by their strength and fragility, he paints them with reverence and intimacy. In their eyes, too, lies a story: of endurance, of coexistence, and of the sacred bond between human and animal.
