Nga Tran, a dynamic and innovative young Vietnamese artist, has emerged as a beacon of fresh perspective within the realm of traditional Vietnamese art, particularly in the domain of Vietnamese engraved painting. Born in 1988, Nga embarked on her artistic journey at the Hanoi University of Industrial Fine Arts, where she delved into the intricacies of traditional Vietnamese painting, with a specific focus on painting and engraving.

In her pursuit of artistic expression, Nga Tran is driven by a youthful spirit that aspires to inject new life into the traditional Vietnamese painting lineage, notably the intricate art form of Vietnamese engraved painting. This visual art form places a premium on perfection, relying heavily on delicate and emotionally charged carvings that give life to intricate images. The process demands meticulous attention from the initial sketching and layout to the nuanced use of bright, dark, and black colors. Whether working on a small or expansive canvas, Nga understands that every centimeter requires careful consideration and precision.

Nga Tran's artistic prowess extends beyond technical finesse to a thoughtful and intelligent approach to composition. She captivates viewers with the richness of her drawings and a keen ability to intelligently and reasonably alter the composition. Nga's artistic versatility is evident in her exploration of various visual space processing techniques, seamlessly navigating between the authentic "Western" style and the more "conventional" Asian painting style.

A core tenet of Nga Tran's artistic philosophy is the belief that "Art comes from the simple things of life." Her works consistently radiate the simple, tranquil beauty inherent in the people and landscapes of Vietnam's homeland. Through her creations, Nga captures the essence of Vietnamese culture and life, infusing it with a modern sensibility that resonates with audiences both in Vietnam and beyond.
