Vietnam Art Paintings by Duong Ngoc Son

Talthough following Impressionism , Duong Ngoc Son has made his paintings different from other impressionistic paintings with women in Ba Ba (Vietnamese traditional dress) or in Ao Dai which are typical things of Vietnam , his homeland .

While many in the artistic circle try to make their own styles , Duong Ngoc Son 's style was probably formed from his sincere , strong and exclusive love and view of the nature . He expresses his love and improves his oil painting skill continuously so as to be able to reveal his fellings and thoughts in his paintings . People often say that one should paint this way or that way to reach a subtle , smart and sizable rank . Duong Ngoc Son does not care about this and this has formed his own rank , which creates what he really feels . As a result , viewers of his paintings are those who actually love his paintings and can share his feelings instead of buying a trademark work . The concept of ranking sometimes hinders the takeoff of the soul of a real artist .

Duong Ngoc Son's paintings clearly reflect their owner , who is simple and honestly but determined, open and innocent but profound. For him , flowers , leaves and grass are not graceful and charming but hot , bustling and noisy . Similarly, Duong Ngoc Son has dedicated himself to painting consciously in his unconsciousness .

Artist Statement
"What I draw really reflects who I am, how I feel and what I think about life. Playing with pencils, oil, & colors have always brought me peace and comfort. My emotion is best embedded in my art which makes my inner side exposed. And now, as an art teacher, I always focus on inspiring my students with what I learn along the way"  —Vu Quoc Dung
