About the Instructor:
Dao Huy Hoang is a multidisciplinary artist with almost 15 years of experience in calligraphy, pen making, and traditional Japanese arts such as Urushi (lacquer painting) and Butsuga (Buddhist painting). His artistic path reflects a deep respect for craftsmanship and the harmonization of refined lettering, sacred iconography, and the cultural spirit of East Asian heritage.
Hoang's profound love for Japanese craft traditions has led him to explore Urushi and Butsuga, while integrating Western illumination techniques — particularly precious metal gilding. This East–West synthesis brings a striking visual identity and spiritual nuance to his artworks.
He has held multiple exhibitions in Vietnam and abroad, showcasing calligraphy, illumination, and Japanese Buddhist art, earning notable recognition from the art community and collectors.
Beyond creation, Hoang is an active international educator, having taught workshops at various associations and international conferences worldwide, including in the United States, Japan, Australia, South Korea, Taiwan, Peru and countries across Southeast Asia. He travels regularly to Japan to study directly with master artisans, continually refining his craft and contributing to the preservation of traditional arts.
Currently based in Hanoi, Vietnam, Hoang continues his artistic research, handcrafted production, and global teaching, with a mission to celebrate and share the beauty of Asian traditional artistry with the world.
