Album review
Tran Nguyen is an award-winning artist and illustrator. She is known for her beautiful paintings created with pencil and acrylic on paper. Nguyen has a good sense of aesthetics which she successfully incorporates into her work making the viewer captivated and entranced in the dreamlike world which is both beautiful and therapeutic. This is built up on in some of her pieces by the use of soft colours and thoughtful compositions of subject matter to create a feeling of nostalgia and longing which is quite befitting since she is said to be ‘‘fascinated with creating visuals that can be used as a psycho-therapeutic support vehicle, exploring the mind’s landscape.’’
Traveling to a distant day
Through a lone, winding road
Enveloped between a pleated thought
Catching fragments of uncharted thoughts
Taste for bittersweet beds
