Born in 1990 and raised in a farming family in Nam Dinh province, the images of Vietnam’s northern countryside have been deeply ingrained in Tran Nguyen’s memory since childhood. These scenes have long inspired his artistic creations.

With a free-spirited painting style and a preference for warm, nostalgic tones like yellow, brown, and earthy hues, Tran Nguyen’s works, painted in oil and acrylic in a realist style, vividly bring to life the memories of his rural upbringing.

Each of Tran Nguyen's paintings is like a frame in a film, rewinding time and taking viewers back to the peaceful and simple countryside of the past.

The three-compartment house with two wings, the water well, the banyan tree, and the simple bamboo bed—these rustic images, once seemingly fading from modern life, have been “revived” in the paintings of artist Tran Nguyen. 

His works really evoke a flood of memories, recalling the simple yet profound experiences of childhood./.
