Doan Xuan Tang’s paintings distil the romance and mystery of Vietnam’s mountainous region and its people. The streaked lines look like veils through which eyes peer dispassionately, recalling his rain-lashed first visit.

“I particularly love to paint the eyes because they reflect the soul inside - happy, sad, or suffering.”

His paintings do not romanticize a region whose beauty belies hardships; the lines remind that cultures can’t be consumed, and inevitably elude our true understanding. Physical appearance is just one facet of the complexity of the human condition.

“Beauty fades, but its impression is permanent”./.
