When Spring arrives, Vietnam’s northern region becomes as pretty as a picture.

Fields of canola flowers, plum flowers, and ban flowers bloom on mountains and hills, while mist blankets the stilt houses of ethnic groups.

The bright smiles of village girls and images of mothers carrying children to the fields are common and simple but strangely sacred amid the colours of Spring.

All sights and sounds as well as the people of highland areas are reproduced in 36 oil paintings from Do Nam Cuong.

Do Nam Cuong was born in 1960. He graduated from the Vietnam University of Fine Arts. He currently lives and works in Hanoi and is a member of the Vietnam Fine Arts Association.

The “Spring in the highlands” exhibition will be open until March 8 at the Fine Art Gallery, 16 Ngo Quyen in Hanoi./.
