Saigon-based emerging artist, without being limited to media or genre, he has been making works widely such as digital arts, paintings and sculptures.

Much of his work references everything from his heritage to his growing up experience, daily’s observation, political issues and pop culture icons. Caubetho challenges norms by creating art with a combination of classical Vietnamese art and contemporary pop culture, that is both original and impactful.

His works in serial “Tuong - The Mirror Reflex Human” illustrate the experience by combining different aspects of a culture where everything is obsoleting. Through the Tuong masks, he projected his inner self out to the society and the other way around. Here, problems are represented by blending visualised mythologies and satirical folm art as a way to communicate with the audience. Via his works, He raised questions about the connection between human and the social environment, to which each viewer has to find their own way to answer.
