The colors of the mountains and forests awaken at the exhibition "Borderlands and Mountains"

After two decades of working hard with oil paints, artist Do Duc has created the impressive exhibition “Non nuoc bien thuy”. With more than 50 works, he has conquered the challenges of the material to recreate the beauty of rocks and mountains. The Northwest, Viet Bac and Dong Van stone plateau have always been an endless source of inspiration, expressed by the artist through paintings such as “Sunshine on Hong Ngai Range”, “Morning Mist on the High Mountain”, “Western Slope of Son Vi”, “Khau Vai Legend”, “March in Xin Cai”, “Khau Vai Legend”…

Nước non ngàn dặm — Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers

Artist Do Duc has devoted his entire creative career to painting a panoramic picture of the majestic beauty of the northern border mountains. With this exhibition, he once again affirms his deep love for his homeland through works about rocks, mountains, fields, highland markets and mountainous people. Each painting bears the mark of a soul closely attached to the nature and people here.

With the exhibition “Non nuoc bien thuy”, painter Do Duc is like a storyteller, taking viewers to explore the majestic beauty of the mountains and forests and the peace of the Vietnamese countryside. Through colorful oil paintings, he skillfully expressed his deep love for his homeland.

Born in 1945, painter Do Duc showed his talent for painting early. He graduated from the Fine Arts Department of the Viet Bac College of Culture and Arts in 1970 and continued his studies at the Hanoi University of Fine Arts. In 1980, his woodcut “Highland Market” helped him defend his graduation thesis with distinction. This success opened the door for his work to be included in the collection of the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum.
