Lacquer paintings are unique to Vietnam: from ancestral Chinese technique, it has evolved into one of the most creative and modern art media.
Contemporary artists use this very demanding and precise technique, layering the Lacquer tree sap with ocres and natural pigments, gold and silver leaves and crushed duck eggshell, to achieve the dramatic lustre and three dimensional effect that characterises the best masterpieces.
