In the autumn, October 31, 1986, the most famous lacquer artist in Vietnam once shared “The big picture, is not a small picture enlarged to big one. The bigger the picture, the bigger the inner force you want to draw. ” That is very true for lacquer paintings by Painter Nguyen Huy Hoang, most of them are large format paintings, size 2m – 4m.

The palette of traditional lacquer itself is meager, by itself, which can be transformed into two main colors: puce and then, from which these two colors can create a multitude of different shades. The traditional acquisition in his lacquer painting is the ability to apply resin to each work.
