Que Huong
Raymond H.
Traditional Asian Watercolor (Calligraphy brush & ink, rice paper, water)

”Que huong” means hometown in Vietnamese. This piece encapsulates my vision of the beauty that Vietnam holds. My process begins with research. I try to look for inspiration through photos of the landscape and once I find what interest me, I shape an idea for my artwork, creating my vision of ”Que huong.” I add colors and pops of brightness capturing the vibrant endless terrain of Vietnam. As I spray water across the entire canvas over and over creating more layers and depth of values and color, I imagine crossing the bridge over the crystal clear flowing water.

Creativity means showing part of myself in ways that usually people don’t see. I want to express myself by depicting part of my personality and who I am as a person. I am usually more reserved and quiet and through creativity I am expressive to the people around.
