Painter Bui Quang Ngoc was born in 1934 in Quang Trach ( Quang Binh ) in a poor patriotic Confucian family. He was also a student of the first class of the Vietnam University of Fine Arts.
Thanks to his talent, even while studying at the Vietnam Fine Arts University in Hanoi (1955-1959), he became famous for his sketches and paintings, which were considered comparable to those of contemporary Vietnamese master painters.

In 1959, painter Bui Quang Ngoc graduated from the Vietnam University of Fine Arts and was assigned to work at the Quang Ninh Department of Culture, specializing in painting propaganda paintings.
Nguyen Hung, a person who used to work closely with artist Bui Quang Ngoc, said: "In the contemporary Vietnamese fine arts scene, Bui Quang Ngoc is probably one of the rare artists who is always concerned with his career. He reads a lot, watches a lot, travels a lot, talks a lot, writes a lot about art and paints a lot. That does not mean he has more 'artistic qualities'. But certainly, he is someone who lives with the desire to do something in art."
