04 / The artist

Nguyễn Văn Trinh

Imagined landscapes where the boundaries between reality, memory and imagination quietly dissolve.

Trinh layers watercolour on silk, letting its translucency meet the expressive energy of Giang paper. The works hold an enduring admiration for nature, and resist fixing emotion inside a single definition.
