‘Bat Kha Phuc Hoi’ (Unrecoverable) by Mong Mi has opened at HCMC Museum of Fine Arts at 97A Pho Duc Chinh Street in District 1.

The exhibition features 20 paintings made of silk which are the result of two years of hard graft and marks an important turning point in the artist’s life.

Graduating from HCMC University of Fine Art in 2003, Mi worked as a copywriter for six years before she quit to focus on her painting. “I realized that painting is my passion and I cannot wait for it any more,” said the artist.

Mi’s works make visitors feel relaxed as her soft and elegant lines together with white spaces give visitors time to think and ponder.

“When you see my works, you are seeing a part of my life experiences, feelings and private affairs,” said Mi.

The exhibition will run until February 29.
