Originally
from South Vietnam, Phi Mai's career in art is the result of much
hard work and overcoming many personal trials. Upon graduating from
the Architecture University in Saigon, he went on to complete a Master's
Degree in Architecture. Mai worked as designer, using his artistic
abilities combined with his architecture skills to build several impressive
complexes. However, successful as he was, Phi felt called to move
to America to escape the oppression and to provide his family with
a better life. Escaping communism and imprisonment's, refugee camps
and physical cruelty to himself, his wife and young daughter, Mai
persevered through everything that came his way, making him constantly
strive for higher goals. After more than 2 years of hardship in a
journey spanning from Vietnam to Cambodia to Thailand and the Philippines,
Mai finally reached the United States in 1989.
After arriving, Phi had the chance to begin working as an oil portrait
painter and later was represented by LEON LOARD, and
he immediately surpassed expectations, excelling naturally. Mai has
now been with LEON LOARD since 1994, enjoying the fulfillment
of creative freedom and portrait painting that was previously denied
him. Mai is glad to be in the United States, a place where he can
be free to use his creative talents in a more diverse way, constantly
raising the standards of excellence that he places on himself. To
date, he has completed more than a thousand portraits in oil, and
continues to produce beautiful original portraits, in a loose and
beautiful painterly style. His client list includes mostly women and
children.
