Tien Vu (pronounced Thee-en) is a queer painter, textile artist and hairstylist.

Tienoftheworld is a multidisciplinary artist specializing in acrylic painting and upcycled and reclaimed textile work. Her process primarily explores alchemizing raw and difficult emotions and past experiences, by sifting through the tumultuous sea of her inner psyche, personal belongings, and transmuting painful associations and attachments to these objects and feelings into her art, like sorrow into silk—

Originally from the bible belt, she carved her own lane into Los Angeles by staying determined and following her dreams. In the pandemic of 2020, she started her journey as an LA hairstylist and artist, gaining a reputation as a queer viet hairstylist, giving gender-affirming haircuts and colors. She is extremely capable, warm and accepting, which makes others feel at ease in the space. Tien is also an anti-capitalist, abolitionist and an advocate for marginalized communities, specifically queer artists, sex workers and people of color. She lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
