The exhibition is an opportunity for viewers to deeply feel and connect with the nation's enduring cultural and spiritual values.

The exhibition takes place on the 1st and 2nd floors of the exhibition hall.

Quynh Thom's works range from familiar rural landscapes and daily life to abstract and historical, cultural and regional themes. Each work contains sincere feelings, reflecting freshness, liveliness and evoking deep emotions in the viewer.

In addition to the familiar yellow color, the purple color at this exhibition brought a different impression.

After following Quynh Thom's artistic journey for a while, painter Le Tri Dung commented: "In just a short time, this is the third consecutive time Quynh Thom has organized a solo exhibition. He has clear ideas, a unified theme and is very active in his artistic work.

The unique feature of this exhibition is the richness of the topics, the vividness of the expression, showing the effort to listen, receive and continue to improve. In life, Quynh Thom is active in modesty, open-minded, willing to learn and absorb the spirit of the previous generation. That is a very precious spirit."

Among the 72 paintings on display at the exhibition "Countryside Colors 4", many of the works are very large in size, up to 1.6m x 1.8m, showing the artist's hard work and dedicated artistic achievements. Most of the paintings were painted outdoors, capturing authentic moments of the Vietnamese countryside.

Painter Quynh Thom shares about her passion for painting.

The artist almost never rested during the entire process of creation, as if caught up in the rhythm of life, the light and the soul of the countryside that were gradually changing. He shared that there were scenes that after he finished his paintings, they no longer existed because of the increasingly rapid urbanization, the peaceful countryside now had a different appearance. For that reason, each painting in the exhibition has contributed to preserving the peaceful, rustic memories, the beauty that may be gradually fading of the homeland.

The painting review board of the 16 Ngo Quyen Exhibition House, under the Vietnam Fine Arts Association, held a meeting to discuss the artist's work.

Behind the tireless brushstrokes and the massive volume of works is a soul full of humanity, sincerity and passionate love for the country. Painter Quynh Thom combines both technique and emotion smoothly, with a heart deeply attached to his homeland. Each of his works exudes respect for traditional values, the simple beauty of people and landscapes. That quiet but intense love has nurtured his creative inspiration, helping him persevere in his journey to preserve the soul of his homeland through each painting.

I always want to do something sincere to preserve. Not just the scenery but the soul of the homeland, where there are memories, people, simple but profound things of my nation. For me, painting is also a way to show gratitude, to live with and move forward with my homeland.

Artist Quynh Thom

Sharing about the exhibition, artist Quynh Thom confided: "I paint to preserve what is being lost. There are times when I have just finished a painting, and a short time later I return, and that scene is no longer there, replaced by new constructions with concrete roads, high-rise buildings... Every time like that, I feel my heart sink. The old features of the countryside are gradually fading away. I always want to do something sincere to preserve it. It is not just the landscape but the soul of the countryside, where there are memories, people, and simple but profound things of my people. For me, painting is also a way to show gratitude, to live with and move forward with my homeland".

Exhibition "Countryside Colors 4" is diverse in themes and styles.

Also on the afternoon of May 14, the Painting Review Council of the 16 Ngo Quyen Exhibition House, under the Vietnam Fine Arts Association, held a meeting to share and evaluate the quality of the works participating in the exhibition.

Art critic Mai Thi Ngoc Oanh, Permanent Vice President of the Vietnam Fine Arts Association, also had sincere words of encouragement, motivating the artist to continue pursuing a creative path with passion and unique identity.

Many large-scale paintings attract the attention of the art-loving public.

Quynh Thom's paintings bring a source of quiet but profound emotions, like whispers from the soul sent to the viewer. Each stroke, each color seems to be distilled from very real, very life experiences and sometimes even the lingering torment in the artist's heart.

There, viewers encounter the rustic, simple beauty of memories, the strength of desire and the fragility of passing moments. Quynh Thom constantly seeks beauty in small things, seemingly ordinary but containing an entire inner world . His paintings always leave many impressions on viewers, like endless whispers about love, life and people.

An abstract work brings a different perspective in Quynh Thom's paintings.

Coming to the exhibition space, the audience was quite diverse, from domestic art lovers to international tourists. They slowly stopped in front of the works as if being drawn into a memory that was both familiar and strange.

Ms. Margaret Wilson, a tourist from the US, expressed her emotions: "I am really impressed with the way the artist uses yellow, the color of sunlight, peaceful afternoons and memories. Or the old roofs, the quiet ponds in the paintings remind me of the places I have experienced in Vietnam, although very different from where I live, but very close in emotion and harmony."

That empathy transcends language and borders, showing that Quynh Thom's paintings have built a bridge between people's souls and memories, no matter where they come from.

Still the familiar yellow color but the painting space has been expanded.

In recent years, there has been a clear trend spreading among art collectors, which is a special interest in works that carry the colors of memories and reminiscences.

Especially, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the country's reunification, the paintings recalling the past with images of old roofs, village roads, ferry terminals, old markets or the sunny yellow and deep brown tones of time become even more attractive.

International tourists love the rustic, peaceful look in Quynh Thom's paintings.

Collectors both seek artistic beauty and hope to find in paintings a part of history, homeland sentiment, and memories deeply imprinted in their souls.

At that time, paintings were not merely decorative in meaning, but truly became spiritual relics, connecting today's generation with lasting values. This nostalgic painting genre is highly appreciated in terms of aesthetics and spiritual value, suitable for long-term collection.

A corner of the landscape painting shows the artist's meticulousness and detail.

The space that Quynh Thom brings contributes to preserving slices of life, containing sincerity and sophistication. With enthusiasm, passion and a sensitive heart in the spirit of constant exploration and creativity, Quynh Thom is expected to continue to bring works that touch the depth of emotions, leaving a unique mark in the hearts of art lovers.
