Le Huu Ich and the Story of the Muse
In the development of art, women always possess an important position in the inspiration of poetry, painting and cinema. The fact that famous artists took women to turn them into “muses” in their works appeared very early. Like the stories of the Nymphs of Greek mythology, they play a role in inspiring art.
For artist Le Huu Ich, he spent a lot of his life pursuing and honoring the beauty of women. He searched for a personal voice through familiar topics but chose a very new, very “Le Huu Ich” construction method so that when looking at it, painting enthusiasts clearly know from the penmanship to the colors and beauty of the subjects. The female body is unmistakable in his works.

Artist Le Huu Ich once shared: “True art in general and painting in particular always consider Beauty as the end, the destination of creativity. Therefore, naturally, women – the Beautiful Women – are an attractive and endless subject of art. A large part of my art world is devoted to women. I have drawn hundreds of paintings of women, middle-aged, young, young women, young women… Each painting brings a different image of a woman, each image has its own beauty.”
The women in Le Huu Ich’s works are gentle but leave deep connections with Eastern values. Whether it’s lacquer or oil paint, he always chooses strong contrasting colors to highlight the main subject in the middle of a simple background. Despite his early success with the Philip Morris Asia-Pacific Art Award, Le Huu Ich sought quiet conversations with himself. Without making much noise, he let his own works speak for their story.
Perhaps that’s why the women in his paintings are mostly hidden, filled with thoughts, mysteries, and sad dreams. Maybe that’s why when we admire Le Huu Ich’s works, the more we look at them, the more we feel like we’re sinking deeper into an enchanting dimension. The inner beauty and stories behind beautiful women are delicately put into the brushstrokes, into the eyes and slender figure of the Asian woman.
