They met despite working and living in very different regions, from artists Do Dinh Mien ( Ho Chi Minh City), Nguyen Dinh Ho (Can Tho), Nguyen Thi Tu Quyen (Thailand) to four female artists from Gia Lai: Nguyen Nguyen But, Le Nguyen Thao My, Le Thi Thanh and Phan Thi Thuy Phuong.

Not only are the artworks diverse in terms of materials such as lacquer, acrylic, and mixed media, but they also express the unique artistic style of each artist. They are indicators of the places where the artists grew up, where their feet have trodden, or simply moments of quiet contemplation, introspection, and self-conversation.

With two male artists participating in the exhibition, one can immediately see a common strength of… men: the ability to grasp space from a broad perspective.

While Do Dinh Mien has a series of works titled "Golden Season" and "Central Vietnam Sunshine," Nguyen Dinh Ho also impresses with his series "A Glimpse of the Central Highlands" and "Land and Sea." Each work is a expansive depiction of nature, yet it doesn't lack subtle touches that highlight the theme.

Artist Do Dinh Mien shared: "My unique style probably lies in my perspective on nature: A tree is not just a tree, or a patch of sunlight is not just light. I see in it many layers of color, many vibrations, many areas of light and shadow constantly changing."

I don't try to capture nature exactly as I see it, but rather to preserve its essence, the moment it moves me. I think if my paintings have a unique characteristic, it's my fascination with the colors of nature and my sincere desire to convey that fascination onto the canvas.”

The space was designed in a modern and vibrant style, highlighting journalistic products associated with the journey of accompanying Vietnamese youth.

Meanwhile, the feminine characteristics of the female artists at the exhibition are also evident in their choice of themes and storytelling style, which largely begins with details and close-ups.

For artist Nguyen Nguyen But, each painting is a conversation between personal emotions and the surrounding reality, so she lets her works "speak for themselves," such as: By the Red Window, The Silence, or the series.

Springtime, the whispers of the highlands…

Pursuing themes of female beauty and romantic love, artist Le Nguyen Thao My uses bright, highly symbolic brushstrokes to express these through her works: "Simple Things," "Springtime Confession," "Unexpected Kiss," etc.

Meanwhile, artist Le Thi Thanh skillfully guides viewers into the quiet moments within each person's consciousness with works like "Self-Reliance," "Returning Home," and "Dissolving into a Dream"... "I paint the feeling of looking up at the sky, of watching the world go by, of people rushing and bustling, and then returning to their true selves. I want to use images and colors to bring that self out to contemplate. From there, to know how to be oneself again," Ms. Thanh said.

Listen to the pictures tell the story.

At the exhibition, viewers also have the opportunity to "take a trip back to childhood" by admiring the series of paintings on the theme "Childhood Memories" by artist Nguyen Thi Tu Quyen. Born and raised in the former Kon Tum province (now Quang Ngai province), Tu Quyen chose to live and work in Thailand after graduating with a Master's degree in Visual Arts from Mahasarakham University in that country.

Looking at paintings by Vietnamese artists in Thailand, one can almost "hear" the sound of lion dance drums, the cheerful laughter of children playing childhood games like lion dances, floating paper boats, and hide-and-seek...

She said: "I love the theme of childhood, so I'm participating in the exhibition with works about traditional children's games. I hope that the children's joy isn't just from the bright blue light of technological devices, but also from moments of relaxation in a small courtyard, under the moonlight, or beside a pile of golden straw..."

With the youngest career, having only been painting for a few years, artist Phan Thi Thuy Phuong brings an inspiring story about striving for a different kind of life. Formerly a bank employee, facing numbers and ever-increasing KPIs daily, she suddenly realized her passion for mountain climbing and painting. So she decided to leave her current job and embark on a completely new path.

“If mountain climbing is about immersing yourself in space, then painting is about bringing emotional space deep into your mind. Every line and color doesn’t need to be as precise as a financial report. Art, like standing before a steep slope, requires courage to begin and patience to reach the end,” – Thúy Phượng describes her feelings towards painting.

So let's take a look at the works she brought to the exhibition, many of which are on the theme of the highlands, such as "Kon Klor - March, the season of memories," "Sounds of the red soil," "Afternoon by the lake," etc., to appreciate each step a young artist takes as she explores the mountains.
