Nguyen Thu Huong and her love of silk paintings

Nguyen Thu Huong's silk paintings are a harmony in the soul of modern women - discreet, shy but still strong and affectionate. Nguyen Thu Huong's silk does not take advantage of the shine to describe the skin nor does it spread color to make long, cloudy hair..., but the figure is colored in blue or bright yellow, a face fades into the background of the painting. The attractiveness of the female body just shimmers and hides in the decorative patterns.

"Because I wanted to change the viewer's perception of silk both visually and tactilely, in addition to painting, I used manual operations such as braiding, plaiting, tying bows, and knots on the surface of the painting - which were also new things for me when I discovered more about the material. In the future, I will still take advantage of the characteristics of silk, both its advantages and disadvantages, to paint, and still use familiar themes about the image of Vietnamese women," said the female artist.
