Referring to the name “Artist Linh Chi”, art lovers immediately think of paintings on the topic of women of ethnic minorities in North highland such as Thai, Dao, Mong, Muong… In which, the image of Dao đỏ women is the one he painted the most.
Prominent in his works are portraits of urban and ethnic women. Linh Chi liked to portray the image of people around him that he met and adored. From portraits of family members, his wife and children to portraits of dear friends.
His portraits of urban girls have very clear and distinctive visual characteristics. Big eyes, full facial features, frisés hair, traditional áo dài, often patterned; standing, lying, sitting, sit grasping the knees… resting, absent-minded, contemplative, moody.
In the same spirit, the ethnic minority girls in the northern mountainous region were also portrayed by him with vivid images, lively in traditional costumes… their faces often exude clarity, honesty, and simplicity. Just looking at the system of his published works, we can see that he had been attached to the topic of ethnic minorities for decades. From the 50s, 60s to the 90s, when he’s old, he still had works on this topic.
