Abby Pham (Nguyệt Minh Phạm) is a 12-year-old artist prodigy who specialized hyper-realistic & classical realistic drawings from Australia. She is a prodigious kid who had already learned a skill that few adults can master at the age of 11 with her hyper-realistic portraits in pastel pencils and graphite. She has an exceptional ability to capture animals & people's emotions and turn them into paintings that look like an artist’s work with decades of experience. From drawing with a pencil to painting in soft pastels, Abby Pham, may only be 11-year-old but proves that talent has no age.

Abby was originally born in Hanoi, Vietnam, she discovered her interests in art when she was 2 years old and started drawing with a pencil, and by the age of 6, her skills began to develop quickly with her detailed drawings and she began to win several art competitions. “Ever since I was able to hold a pencil, I had always been dreaming of becoming a professional artist.” she said. Driven by her love for art, Abby would wake up early every morning and spend hours dedicated to her art. She immersed herself in the creative process and learned from her mistakes. Even as a young little child, Abby found joy in drawing things from life and putting them in her art.

As Abby got older, she started exploring realistic drawing when she turned 8. She created drawings inspired by her surroundings, imaginative ideas, reference images, and her own creativity. Her exceptional artwork caught the attention of anyone who saw it. When she was 10 years old, Abby expanded her artistic skills even more by using colored pencils and soft pastels. It was that time when she started drawing with 3D objects used as models for her art. She has a passion for creating meaningful paintings, each one telling a story. From that time, she started receiving commission requests of pets & people and started earning money through her website.

Now, at the age of 12, Abby Pham continues to embark on her artistic journey with unwavering determination. She won more art prizes and her work were featured in several art exhibitions, like the Young Bayside Art Exhibition which she won first prize in the 10-13yrs Category twice in both the year 2023 and 2024, or the BSAVA PetSavers Art Competition where she won first prize as well but in the under 16yrs Category in the UK which her work will be feature in the March issue of BSAVA’s Companion which she won first prize, or the Global Canvas Art Competition which she got finalized out of 72 countries. Wildlife foundations also requested commissions from her for their product designs.

She tirelessly dedicates herself to the creation of hyper-realistic & classical realistic artwork, as all her work is being showcase on her website. Abby learned and improved her skills through her own observations and self-guided learning.

Each of Abby's realistic drawings, whether depicting wildlife or human subjects, possesses a profound ability to evoke emotions in viewers worldwide. She infuses her artwork with meaningful messages, ensuring that each piece carries its own unique significance. As Abby embarks on her journey towards a professional career, her artistic prowess continues to blossom, leaving an indelible mark on the art world and inspiring others with her talent and dedication.

Abby always tries her best to show the beauty of the animal kingdom and different stories in life to the world through her masterpieces.

“To me, Art is like breathing. Sometimes I am out of breath. There are also times I don’t feel like breathing at all. Art has a rare ability to communicate emotions that words alone cannot convey.” - Abby.
