PHẠM NGỌC MỴ
“Being an artist means leading your own path, even when it gets overwhelming.”
Phạm Ngọc Mỵ approaches lacquer painting with a strong belief in the power of subtlety, simplicity, and intention. Rather than seeking dramatic subjects or grand gestures, she turns her focus to what is often overlooked—the quiet beauty of everyday life and the inherent limitations of the lacquer medium. It is within these constraints that she finds freedom, drawing strength from the challenge of expressing depth through minimal means.
Her strength lies in her meticulous attention to detail. Every layer, texture, and composition is considered with care, revealing an artist who works not for immediacy, but for quiet precision. This sensitivity to nuance—combined with her deep emotional connection to her subjects—gives her work a quiet power that invites viewers to slow down and look closer
