As in her works, the life of Doan Thuy Hanh revolves around her family where she dotes on her young son and daughter. Invariably, her subject is mostly female, sometimes referring to her daughter, with “pink cheeks, angel eyes and young bird lips” and imbued with the innocence and curiosity and often garbed in clothes that are Vietnamese in patterns and form. The seasons are often reflected in the clothes worn, or the activities, although mostly it is nothing more than familial bonding. Even in the single subject, the background often gets as much attention. She likes to work in lacquer, pigments eggshell and goldleaf on board although it is more difficult to deal with the heavier and harder lacquer. Doan Thuy Hanh graduated from the Hanoi Fine Arts University in Hanoi in 1998. Since 2006, she has taken part in group exhibitions in Japan and Paris. Her works are also regularly traded in art auctions in Vietnam since 2007.
