HA NGUYEN MANH
      Vietnam
  • Year of birth: 1976
  • Current place of residence: Traditional lacquer craft village Ha Thai - Hanoi
  • Formal training specialization: Graphic design artist
  • Educational institution: Hanoi University of Industrial Fine Arts
  • Preferred creative mediums: Watercolor, lacquer, oil paint
  • Main artistic themes: Landscapes, still life, animals
  • Perspective on visual arts: Life is inherently diverse in color. The concept of human existence cannot be fully encapsulated within the confines of a single painting, no matter how grand. Simplicity should be just right, but the artwork needs to convey, or at least contain, a positive worldview.
  • General self-reflection on created works: It’s not difficult to discern the distinct influences of metaphorical and symbolic graphic art within my works. Additionally, you will often find the frequent presence of the traditional Vietnamese lacquer color palette, especially with black, red, white, and yellow tones. This serves as my personal commitment to promoting and revitalizing the lacquer craft of Vietnam.
Ultimately, the language of painting does not use words to convey messages. For the rest, please use your own eyes and heart to feel it!
