Nguyen Thanh Binh is a world-renowned artist, his iconic work instantly recognizable in
Contemporary Vietnamese Art. His paintings have received widespread international
Acclaim, and he frequently exhibits his works in Europe, Asia and America. The artist
Says of his work: “I’m not trying to follow any trends, I’m just searching for beauty as
I see it, a beauty for everyone. The structure in my paintings tells the viewer many things
beyond the surface. The aim in my work is to condense the narrative. I like minimal
subject and a maximum idea just like Japanese Haiku”.
