Solid and rough are the emotions of BaoLoc. Spatial topography consists of interlaced hills, layers hidden under layers of cold pine forests. In that autumn silence, the clouds are the witch who transforms to soften the rough, dry and cold.
CLOUD
Vinhho.2022
Following the wind, the stream flows in all directions,
The foggy road is dotted with flying dew drops.
Love is drunk at night in dreams,
Filled with the call of the human realm.

“The interplay of dark and light hues conjures a spectral dance of shadows, evoking the elusive nature of the intangible, whispers of the hidden dimensions that lie beneath the surface, suggesting an eternal struggle between presence and absence.”

Next project | SPARKLE
“Whispers of ephemeral beauty, a tranquil moment captured in the chaos of existence. Shades of yellow and brown morph together, cradling hints of white and red, embodying the fleeting glimmer of life. Amidst this tumultuous beauty, the painting proposes a reflection on the essence of “sparkle” – not as mere glitz, but as a profound glitter of existence, intricate dance of light and shadow, beauty and decay.”

Xin
Xin cho mây xám cuối trời,
Cỏ hoang yên giấc đồng phơi nắng vàng,
Xin cho gió chở lời mang,
Đồng dao vang tiếng ngỡ ngàng đường quê,
Xin cho trăng ngủ bờ đê,
Gối tay tỉnh giấc chưa về đã hay!
Request
Grant the gray clouds at sky’s end,
Let wild grass slumber in sunlit meadows,
Grant the wind to carry whispers,
Children’s rhymes echo with wonder down rustic paths,
Grant the moon to rest on riverbanks,
Cradled in arms, awakening to dreams not yet returned.

Melaleuca forest
The sky turned gray-gray, the melaleuca forest changed color under the lopsided sunlight penetrating through the canopy of leaves, the ground tilted and swayed with the withering colors of countless flowers and leaves. The sparkling black velvet water reflects the identity of the forest of the elders: the splendid harmony of the late afternoon.

Next project | RED Temple
Ngôi đền không được xây bằng đá, mà bằng cảm nhận. Mỗi người bước vào ngôi đền mang theo một ý niệm vô hình.
Những vòm cửa là đường cong của hoài niệm, trụ cột là nỗi sợ được đúc kết, mái vòm là khoảng trống giữa hai dòng suy tư. Nhà kiến tạo gợi mở những bức tường đã sẵn có từ lâu trong tiềm thức.
Màu đỏ không phải là sắc tố, mà là nhiệt độ của một trường nhìn thẳm sâu.
Sự linh thiêng thực sự không nằm ở cái được thấy, mà ở cái phản chiếu phía sau đôi mắt: nơi ký ức và ước vọng vẽ nên sự vĩnh hằng của ngôi đền.

Next project | Vinhho Art Studio
In the bustling urban rhythm of Phan Xich Long’s vibrant food street, Vinhho Art Studio, the sanctuary of self training – painter Ho Viet Vinh, nestles quietly in a small alley typical of Saigon. The surrounding air hums with the everyday sounds of urban life and the rich aromas of street food delicacies.
Inside the compact studio where the artist crafts his paintings, everything appears orderly. The space is adorned with a variety of experimental works, each reflecting his diverse artistic journey. At the center of the room stands an old, slightly tilted wooden easel, holding an unfinished painting. The bold and uninhibited strokes on the canvas mirror the essence of the artist himself.
For those fortunate enough to explore the evolution of Vinhho’s artistry from his earliest days, each painting tells a distinct story, conveying profound messages about life, humanity, and especially nature. Through his brushstrokes, Ho Viet Vinh channels the most authentic emotions, inviting viewers to share in his perspective.
While the city outside thrums with its noisy, dynamic energy, this small studio offers a serene haven – a private world where Ho Viet Vinh and his collaborators dedicate themselves to crafting works of art that contribute to celebrating the breathtaking beauty and wonder of Vietnam.

“Hồ Tràm mùa nước ngập tràn lên ngang lồng ngực, một màn sương xám ô-liu phủ xuống chậm rãi như hơi thở ẩm mặn của rừng: vừa lạnh vừa dịu. Bỗng có một vệt vàng-lục bừng lên như tiếng gọi của mặt trời lạc giữa nước, ánh sáng không rực mà thấm, như hy vọng len qua bùn, như vết thương còn ướt: khiến vừa muốn chạm vào vừa sợ làm vỡ sự im lặng, để cuối cùng cảnh không còn là cảnh mà là một cảm giác kéo dài, mênh mang, lãng mạn và u tịch.”

Next project | Cảnh quan bản địa
Những vệt cắt của địa tầng cảnh quan tạo cho vùng đất một tính cách riêng biệt mang âm hưởng bản địa.
Những khối đá ủ mình trong đất được ôm ấp và tâm tình với bóng đêm và làm bạn với những quân đoàn mối và côn trùng.
Những gốc dương xỉ cổ đại sần sùi, gân guốc chạm mặt ngã nghiêng hứng giọt nắng của trời để ngập ngụa trong màu xanh mơn mởn của tàng lá.
Cả ba dạng hình thái của sự sống cùng hội tụ để tạo nên ý niệm cảnh quan bản địa nơi vùng đất đầy gió và mây này.

“A delicate symphony of muted hues pirouettes in the ever-changing light. Its dance mirroring the soul’s ebb and flow, serving as a melancholic ode to time’s fleeting passage and life’s ephemeral beauty: a poignant reflection of existential drift.”

Mây khua bóng nước
hoen màu tóc,
Núi đội phong sương
rát lạnh người.
Clouds tarnish water’s mirror.
hair’s hue turns pale,
Mountains wear frost and gale
a piercing chill prevails.
