Hoa Diên Vĩ trong sương sớm

In *Irises in the Morning Mist*, Nguyen Van Minh doesn't depict each flower individually in a realistic way, but rather organizes them into clusters of color and rhythm spread across the painting's surface. The upright green patches of leaves intermingle with clusters of blue, purple, and dark green, standing out against a hazy yellow-white background like water and morning mist.

The multi-panel composition creates a sense of continuous expansion, while the bright spaces make the flower clusters appear sometimes clear, sometimes dissolving into the air. The lacquer material is treated to be light and airy, reducing the usual formality to create a feeling of freshness and purity. Through the rhythm of the upright leaves, the dense colors of the flowers, and the hazy background, the work places the viewer before a moment of nature gradually awakening, where form and color vibrate together in the delicate mist.
