Phuong Binh was born into an artistic family, with her father being a well-known musician. At the age of ten, she was selected to study at Nghe An College of Culture and Fine Arts for gifted students, beginning her formal artistic education at an early age.

​

Binh later earned a Master’s Degree in Fine Arts and taught art at Nguyen Trai University. Throughout her career, she has received prizes and Certificates of Merit from the National Association of Young Artists, as well as a Certificate of Merit from the Chairman of the People’s Committee of Nghe An Province. After many years as an art lecturer, Binh decided to devote herself entirely to her artistic practice.

​

Working primarily in lacquer, mixed media and ink on handmade paper, Binh is recognised for bringing contemporary ideas and modern expressions to the tradition of Vietnamese paper painting. Her distinctive approach combines expressive brushwork with a strong sense of movement, emotion and individuality, establishing her as an important voice in Vietnam’s contemporary art scene.

​

Women are at the heart of Binh’s artistic practice. Her figures radiate strength, elegance and emotional intensity, inviting the viewer to look beyond their outward beauty and into the stories and emotions they carry. Through energetic and spontaneous brushstrokes, Binh reveals the thoughts, desires and inner strength beneath the delicate appearance of her subjects.

In the artist’s own words: “I paint women, their spirit and emotions. I paint their beauty and their inner thirst for freedom.”

Binh’s work has been featured in Vietnamese national and local newspapers, magazines and literature work. Her paintings are held in private collections in Vietnam and internationally.
