The paintings, covering a wall with a total area of 360 square metres, were created by painter Nguyen Thu Thuy, responsible for the Ceramic Road along the Red River dyke in Hanoi and nine others from Tan Hanoi Art Company.

The paintings feature lotus ponds with the light of a sunset and white lotus flowers, creating a romantic and soft colour tone. They are expected to beautify the landscape and environment of Noi Bai International Airport, thus becoming a relaxed and peaceful corner at Terminal 2.

The paintings also contribute to honouring the lotus - Vietnam Airlines’ logo and the country’s national flower.

Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan, Deputy Director of Noi Bai International Airport, said that the artwork was one of activities to improve the quality of service, towards satisfying passengers.

In the near future, Thuy and her colleagues will complete another mural made from ceramic pieces at the airport. The artwork will show the history and culture of Hanoi.

Thuy and her colleagues previously created a piece of mural art covering a pillar that is 7.4m in height and 6.4m in diameter, featuring images of flowers and tropical trees at Da Nang International Airport.

The artwork won the bronze medal at the 10^th International Design Awards.

She will send her design to compete in a number of international design contests and register at the Guinness Book of World Records Vietnam for the largest outdoor picture in Vietnam./.
