Nostalgia
More than a collection of paintings, it is a visual diary of my youth spent in Da Lat – the highland city of flowers, often hailed as Vietnam’s most romantic sanctuary, and a place I once held deeply as my second home.
Through the emotive brushstrokes of my personal Impressionist style, this collection seeks to capture the soul of a city caught between eras. It paints the lingering, poetic beauty of misty mornings, juxtaposed against the quiet melancholy of forging a path alone. These canvases hold my solitude, my youthful restlessness, and a profound yearning for a Da Lat that once breathed with a gentle, deliberate slowness – a rhythm now slowly surrendering to the rushed pulse of modernity.
“Nostalgia” is not just a memory of a place; it is an echo of a time that shaped who I am.

“The essence of a painting lies not in being beautiful or ugly, but in how the artist chooses to bare the deepest emotions of their soul.”
Practice
Humble diary of my watercolor studies. Capturing the fleeting beauty of florals allows me to hone my technique and embrace spontaneity. Each piece represents a moment of mindful practice
a gentle, unhurried dance between water, color, and the canvas.
