The colors of the mountains and forests awaken at the "Borderland Landscape" exhibition.

After two decades of dedicated work using oil paints, artist Do Duc has created the impressive exhibition "Borderland Landscapes." With over 50 works, he has conquered the challenges of the medium 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 the Hong Ngai Mountain Range," "Morning Mist in the Highlands," "Western Slope of Son Vi," "Legend of Khau Vai," "March in Xin Cai," and "Legend of Khau Vai"...

Nước non ngàn dặm — A land stretching for thousands of miles.

Artist Do Duc has dedicated his entire creative career to painting a panoramic picture of the majestic beauty of the northern border mountains and forests. With this exhibition, he once again affirms his deep love for his homeland through works depicting rocks, mountains, fields, highland markets, and the people of the mountainous region. Each painting bears the distinct mark of a soul intimately connected to the nature and people of this land.

With the exhibition "Borderland Landscapes," artist Do Duc acts as a storyteller, leading viewers on a journey to discover the majestic beauty of the mountains and forests and the peacefulness of the Vietnamese countryside. Through his colorful oil paintings, he skillfully expresses his deep love for his homeland.

Born in 1945, artist Do Duc showed early artistic talent. He graduated from the Fine Arts Department of the Viet Bac School of Culture and Arts in 1970 and continued his studies at the Hanoi University of Fine Arts.

This success opened the door for his work to be included in the collection of the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum.

The artistic career of painter Do Duc has been recognized by the inclusion of many of his works in the collections of prestigious museums. At the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum and the Thai Nguyen Museum of Ethnic Cultures, viewers can admire nearly 30 of his works, mainly focusing on the life and culture of ethnic minorities in the North. This demonstrates a profound and authentic perspective on the lives of people in the highlands through the artistic lens of painter Do Duc.
