Vietnamese lacquer painting has its roots in the traditional lacquer craftsmanship, which was further refined through experimentation and application by artists from the Indochina Fine Arts College. This unique art form has evolved with distinctive finesse in both texture and color, marking a clear departure from other traditional painting styles.

Lacquer painting follows a meticulous process and technique, from preparing the base to the final artwork. This creates lacquered masterpieces that are rich in Vietnamese cultural identity, unlike anything found in other countries. The process involves using traditional lacquer paint, followed by polishing the surface to reveal the layers of color beneath, incorporating both planned elements and spontaneous, unexpected surprises. This results in a one-of-a-kind, unique piece of artwork. Therefore, it is accurate to say that lacquer painting is Vietnam’s national art.

By preserving and displaying lacquer paintings, we are not only appreciating their beauty but also expressing our national pride and cultural heritage.
