TiVen (Tường Vân) is an artist based in Ho Chi Minh City with five years of experience. I'm working as a concept artist and senior illustrator in various fields (games, books, commercial projects) at TREE Studios. I'm interested in inking illustrations and often use ink as the main tool for my artworks.
I love working on projects that focus on Vietnamese culture and daily life, or draw from my childhood experiences. You can easily see these details in my artwork.
I enjoy reading illustrated books and have recently found graphic novels interesting, so I want to explore more in this field.

Making a Dragon

My first artwork of 2024 features the Dragon, this year's zodiac sign. It symbolizes new beginnings, strength, and connections across generations. This piece holds great significance for me, encapsulating all the experiences I had in 2023.

MIND

This artwork explores the inner workings of our minds, depicting both chaotic and healing moments. It emphasizes the importance of mental health care and therapy.

Artist vs AI

AI opens new frontiers in the art and design industry but also has its dark side. Therefore, I believe culture is the most important element that we—as artists—need to hold onto tightly and preserve as our legacy.

Women

Shout out to all Vietnamese Women!
