For prolific artist Le Thanh Son, painting is a way to play with colors, express his emotions, and satisfy the thirst of creativity. He is known for interplaying light and shadow in his works, as seen here in the canopy and the shade of verdant trees beaming with sunlight.
Son creates modern impressionist work while adapting a distinct Vietnamese character. He particularly cherishes painting natural scenery and depicting the marvelous change of colors through the seasons. He uses broad brush strokes and applies thick paint directly to the canvas in a bold and daring, yet emotional style. The natural scenery of Vietnam is depicted with charm and lyricism that gives the work quaintness while giving the viewers a visual feast that brings about an unanticipated source of delight.
