Introduction.

Hua Thanh Binh - portrait 2 - higher res

Hua Thanh Binh is famous and beloved by many people in and outside the profession. As an artist, but he also has a long period of time working with the museum industry which had a huge impact on his artistic career. The steady and serious rhythm of a civil servant made him a habit of hard work and dedication in painting. The scientific experiences needed in the museum's research, collection, preservation and statistics of artifacts helps him to be careful and meticulous while drawing.


His art stands between expressionism and abstractionism, there is a lot of turmoil and conflict hidden behind the calm surface of his paintings. Under the surface there are passions that have been buried, dreams which never came true, as well as images of motion. His paintings are often in large size since their owner always wants to express the most of his souls and emotions on a wide canvas.


In recent years, Binh's paintings have escaped into a new realm, the unexplained deep sorrows in his previous paintings are being replaced by the softness and sparkle which are calmer, warmer and more beautiful. He has sublimated in his world completely different from before, with images of horses and women with strange moods and intense emotions. After a long journey, we can see Binh is entering a much more beautiful new stage for both himself and for the art of the country.
