Vu Dzung is known for his mastery of two traditional mediums: lacquer and oil painting — techniques that require patience, precision, and complete immersion. To him, creating art is a meditative act. Each brushstroke, each layer of color, is not merely a technical move, but a dissolution of emotion — a quiet dialogue with the self. Especially with lacquer — a material rich in Vietnamese identity — he preserves its classical beauty while infusing it with a contemporary spirit, guided by creative intuition and fresh perspectives.
His artistic style is unmistakably his own: minimalist but never plain, contemplative yet vibrant. In his works, one might see the graceful silhouette of a woman in áo dài, softly emerging from a tranquil rural landscape; or the serene presence of the Buddha or high monks, portrayed through delicate mists — ethereal, light, and meditative. Whether spiritual or mundane, his works radiate an inner calm and soulful depth.
Vu Dzung’s paintings do not merely tell stories — they carry emotions. The beauty of simplicity, of a still soul amidst the bustle of life, flows through every piece. Each work is an invitation to return to the essence of being, to listen inwardly. The figures of Buddha, of Vietnamese women, or scenes of countryside life all evoke a spiritual space where viewers — no matter where they are from — can find connection and resonance.
His name has long transcended Vietnam’s borders. Vu Dzung was once an exclusive artist at Ode to Art, a renowned gallery in Singapore, where his works were regularly exhibited and warmly embraced by international collectors. His paintings are now part of private collections in the U.S., France, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, and beyond — quiet yet powerful testaments to the spirit of contemporary Vietnamese art.
With Vu Dzung, one senses the seamless fusion of art and life. He is not merely a painter, but a soul who lives fully through art – with passion, intuition, and gratitude. Modest in lifestyle, profound in thought, he embodies a school of art where meditation is not just a subject, but a way of feeling, painting, and living.
