In each painting, artist Vu Thuy Mai recalls the sound of early morning, the green color of leaves, the echoing calls of birds - familiar, gentle images that everyone has encountered and loved, but cannot always keep.
The pace of modern life is so fast, the living space sometimes seems to be suffocated, overwhelming the heart, the painting series "Peaceful Memories" by the talented female artist is like a cool breeze, evoking deep layers of emotions, bringing us back to the simple but emotional moments of everyday life.

Inspired by her own inner experiences and subtle observations of the living environment around her, Vu Thuy Mai has painted a peaceful space where nature seems to be silently observing and whispering to people. Those are the early mornings, when the gentle sunlight shines through the leaves, the birds calling for their friends, the chirping of sparrows nesting on the porch... Each rhythm, each moment of sowing intimate emotions, the artist collects with persistent and lingering brushstrokes.

With a pure artistic spirit, artist Vu Thuy Mai both paints nature and aims at the spirit of human connection with nature in a very close, intimate relationship that is sometimes gradually lost due to the pace of urbanization.
"Peaceful Memories" brings a gentle yet profound message: nature has not disappeared, it's just that we no longer have enough time and mind to listen and feel it.
If we slow down a bit, if we stop to look and listen, we will see that nature is still very close, like an old friend, silently waiting for us to return.
Besides the deep emotions and humane messages, the series of paintings also marks the journey of tireless efforts of the female artist born in 1990 from Lao Cai .
With a solid academic foundation and cultural research and accumulation, the female artist has been affirming her name through a series of exhibitions at home and abroad.

Sharing about the series of paintings, the female artist confided: "There are very small moments in daily life that seem so normal that we don't notice them, but they quietly remain in our memories and become the most precious things when we look back. I was born in the mountainous region of Lao Cai, my childhood was closely connected to nature, to the quiet, fresh space. Growing up, moving to the city, I began to clearly feel the change, not from material things but from space and emotions. Holding a paintbrush is a way to help me reconnect with my memories, my childhood, and the peace that had been hidden."
