Artistically Autistic 2017 - Start of the journey
About Artistically Autistic (Pete Nguyen)
(Contact form below)
Pete, a British-Vietnamese artist residing in the heart of London, leverages his exceptional ability for concentrated focus, a trait often associated with his autism, to craft intricate narratives steeped in artistic metaphors. With a commendable academic background that includes a 2:1 degree in software engineering, Peter dedicated a remarkable 11-year tenure in the world of corporate banking. During this time, he held the position of 'System Analyst' within the domain of foreign exchange, supporting banks across the globe. However, the allure of a different, more modest existence beckoned, ultimately prompting him to relinquish his flourishing corporate career in pursuit of the art that had ignited his passion.
One pivotal chapter in his life, affectionately referred to as 'the Spanish Inquisition,' served as a wellspring of inspiration and introspection, offering Peter rich material to contemplate and convey through his artistic endeavours. When conventional language faltered, art eloquently stepped in, rendering words superfluous. Thus, he gracefully set aside his pen and embarked on a journey where art itself became the poignant, articulate voice of his emotions and experiences. The art of storytelling, a fossil from the five years he dedicated to his creative craft, now stands as a testament to his artistic legacy.
In the present, Pete engages with individuals from all walks of life through his unique and once-in-a-lifetime art collection, an intimate window into art as a storytelling tool to invite discovery and explore the human experience. His work not only speaks to the profound impact of art as a medium for self-expression but also offers solace, understanding, and hope to those who encounter it.
