The event showcases nearly 30 works by artist Huong Thuy depicting many kinds of flowers, including lotus, poppy, lagerstroemia, flamboyant, sunflower, cherry blossom, and more.
The flowers are made of clay and laid on the background of landscapes in oils.
Park Nark Jong, director of the Korean Cultural Center, where the exhibition is taking place, expressed his belief that anyone would fall in love with those pictures of clay flowers.
They look incredibly real, he added.
Artist Huong Thuy said it took her and her team around six months to finish those works.
She was in charge of ideas for the pictures, then asking painters to draw the background.
The clay flowers were made by the artist herself.
“It requires the makers to be sophisticated and meticulous in every detail, especially when shaping the petals and coloring the clay to make the flowers look as real as possible,” she said.
“My works are mainly made of artificial clay bought from South Korea and Japan.”
“Those pictures can be used for a long time if being properly preserved,” she added.
The exhibition will run at the Korean Cultural Center at 49 Nguyen Du Street, Hai Ba Trung District through May 14.
