(b.1971)
Born in Bac Ninh, Vietnam in 1971, Nguyen Minh Son, is an impressionist artist who focuses on landscape paintings. He graduated from the Hanoi Fine Art College in 2000. Unlike his contemporaries who made Hanoi their muse, Minh Son depicts the simpleness and purity of the rural landscapes. The colors, style, and technique in his paintings make bushes, reeds, and flowers more vibrant, giving quaint and charming countryside scenes.
