Meet one of Vietnam’s leading artists in silk painting

It is not a surprise for an artist to hold a personal exhibition at the age of 75, but such a exhibit is really inspirational to both the public and other artists in Vietnam because of the woman behind it: Hoang Minh Hang.

She is one of the most well-known artists of silk painting in the country still working now despite old age.

In her most recent exhibition in Ho Chi Minh City, Hang displayed 15 big silk paintings with large dimensions of 70 centimeters to one meter in height and one to two meters in width.

To many in public, the painting’s big dimensions may not be something special. To artists, however, this fact reflects a certain skill level of the painter.
