From the organizer:
“I draw and paint in a desire to morph myself into being one with nature in various pitches of feeling. Watercolour, ink on silk, acrylic on canvas… help me to freely self-dilute with my own dreamy obsessions. In my works, nature is simply a visual material for me to create the form of my feelings.”
Bui Thanh Thuy graduated from the Fashion Graphic Department of University of Industrial Fine Arts in 1995.
