Cong Kim Hoa was born in Hanoi in 1962 and graduated from
the Hanoi College of Fine Art in 1985. She is one of the few
female artists who made lacquer painting their medium.
Hoa specialises in semi-abstract and abstract paintings,
however one can often recognize the contours of masks, faces,
fish, lotus flowers or other organic forms in her work.
The sensitivity that flows through her paintings is filled with
depth and detail; it is full of feeling and abundant with life.
The abundance that fills Cong Kim Hoa's paintings is not merely
representations of physical forms but rather expressions of her
emotional knowledge and personal history.

She recently staged a solo show at the Fine Art Museum of
