Exhibition “A journey of color – Connecting dreams”:
On the morning of July 19, 2025, at the Vietnam National Fine Arts Museum, the Nguệch Ngoạc Art Studio held the opening of the exhibition “A Journey of Color – Connecting Dreams,” featuring 76 paintings by children, attracting a large number of parents, students, artists, and art lovers in the capital.
The exhibition presented 76 painting and installation works, created by teacher Nguyễn Ký and her students at the Nguệch Ngoạc Art Studio, with artistic consultation from painter Đào Hải Phong. The artworks utilized diverse materials, ranging from acrylic, watercolor, oil pastel, pencil, charcoal, and gouache to monotype printing and installation techniques, offering a rich visual experience for visitors.

According to Ms. Nguyễn Ký, this exhibition was carefully curated, selecting outstanding young artists with the aim of helping the children understand the value of serious investment and practice in order to participate in a professional exhibition space.
The artworks in the exhibition carry a strong personal mark, recreating familiar scenery and daily life through a child’s perspective: Hoan Kiem Lake, the Temple of Literature, rooftops, village gates, small streets, or household objects… Each painting expresses the rich inner world of the children, naturally and delicately preserving childhood memories and traditional cultural values.
Art consultant, painter Đào Hải Phong, commented: “What impressed me about these young painters is that they did not follow the beaten path but demonstrated their own creativity and aesthetic taste. Even more valuable is the continuous companionship and support from their parents. That is a positive sign for the future development of fine arts.”

The exhibition also introduced the installation piece “Rác nở hoa” (Waste Blooms), which was personally created by the children and their teacher from plastic waste, conveying a message of environmental protection. Many works garnered attention, such as “Mẹ” (Mother), “Tự hoạ” (Self-Portrait), “Chị Minh” (Sister Minh) by Khúc Cao Bảo Chi, and the creations of Nguyễn Ngọc Nam Khuê, all demonstrating the younger generation’s love for their homeland and their aspirations.
