Hello and welcome to my website. My name is Ngeun Sysengthong and I am a Lao Australian artist. I live and work on both beautiful Gadigal Country and Yuin Country, on the east coast of Australia.
My art practice is focused on abstract oil painting. I also enjoy creating sculpture and mixed media works. My artworks are hand created, fuelled with love, care and emotion.
I enjoy experimenting and exploring the possibilities of oil paint and other mediums through meditative, expressive, abstract and semi abstract works including landscapes, portraits and still lifes. I am interested in painting as a potent medium and vehicle for visual non verbal language and communication. I am inspired by God, Spirit, Mother Nature, people and the human condition and experience.
I am mostly self taught as an artist and painter. I studied 3 unit visuals arts in high school in 1994. My sculpture titled Birth-Death-Rebirth was selected for the 1994 ARTEXPRESS Exhibition. It was awarded the Gould League Environment Award and featured on the front cover of the 1994 ARTEXPRESS catalogue.
In 2002, I was enrolled in and studied for a Bachelor of Fine Arts (for one semester), and then transferred to a Master of Arts (Research)(Sculpture) (also for one semester) at UNSW College of Fine Arts (COFA), which I deferred without completion.
I am grateful and enjoyed my studies and experiences at COFA. Now, I am grateful and feel blessed to be able to continue to learn and practice my art in my own time and space with an incredible and varied supply of life teachers and mentors, and resources and supporters.
Thank you for visiting my website and taking the time to view my artworks. To view more of my work and follow my art practice, you can do so on Instagram and Facebook. Some of my artworks are available for purchase on Bluethumb, Saatchi Art and eBay. I am able to post my artworks worldwide and I am available for commissioned works.

Thanking you kindly, Ngeun.
