Beautiful moss art in Quang Ninh
Paintings made from green moss carpets have recently emerged as a unique trend in Ha Long city, which reflects Quang Ninh artists' unlimited creativity of art on different materials.
Green moss can bring a tranquil relaxed feeling, and moss grown indoors can turn what is a simple plant into beautiful eye-catching artworks for interior decoration.
Nguyen Thanh Hau, a very creative woman, is the artist behind such stunning natural artworks. She is the first one to bring the moss painting workshop to Ha Long in her own cafe space filled with green trees.
"Moss Art (artistic moss painting) appeared in Vietnam 5 years ago and has recently developed strongly in the Southern region. After many years of being into this art form, I want to bring moss painting to Ha Long so that local nature-lovers have the opportunity to experience, create moss paintings themselves and spread the green living mindset", Hau said.
Normally, moss art paintings are divided into two types: Minimalist moss paintings and modified moss paintings.
When it comes to minimalist moss paintings, the characteristic of the painting is that it only uses very few materials, almost the entire area of the painting should be filled with moss clumps while moss can be combined with driftwood, rocks, sand, gravel, green trees, etc. to create a modified moss painting.
Moss and other small plants can be kept inside the containers. Living moss prefers a humid environment, which can create a special closed ecosystem that requires little maintenance. The moss and plants inside closed terrariums can provide CO2 from the humidity.
