“Méditation (Meditation)” by Vũ Cao Đàm (Vietnamese-French) – Oil on canvas / c. 1960s–1970s – Musée Cernuschi (Paris, France) #WomenInArt #symbolism #art #artText #artwork #VũCaoĐàm #VuCaoDam #VietnameseArt #VietnameseArtist #BlueskyArt #arte #peinture #meditation #MuséeCernuschi #Modernism

A young Vietnamese woman with warm light-beige skin sits cross-legged, her long dark hair swept into a loose bun that crowns her head. She wears a flowing, pale blue-white áo dài whose wide sleeves open like wings. The silk-like garment is rendered in layered, textured strokes that catch light. Her oval face is calm, eyes softly downcast, lips a muted rose. Centered at her chest bloom strokes of coral-red and orange suggest clustered blossoms cradled by her hands while the surrounding field dissolves into deep and misty blues. Plant silhouettes and petal-like marks drift across the surface while lighter flecks resemble reflections on water. The paint is visibly scumbled, incised, and mottled so the woman seems to emerge from a lotus pond, held in a hush between breath and thought.

Created during the artist’s mature oil-painting years in southern France, “Méditation” belongs to a group of contemplative female figures that merge Vietnamese spirituality with European modernist color and texture. Vũ Cao Đàm trained at the École des Beaux-Arts de l’Indochine and later settled near Vence, where a brighter, dream-like palette and dissolving backdrops entered his work. The blue, aqueous background and bouquet-like reds echo the serenity and life-force of the lotus (Buddhist shorthand for awakening) while the sitter’s cupped, aligned hands recall mudrā-like gestures of inward focus. The sculptor’s touch remains: palette-knife striations and incisions model the face and robe with tender restraint, a hallmark that links his early training to his later canvases.

The hovering blossoms place “mind” at the heart, turning the body into a shrine of quiet illumination. Shown in the French retrospective dedicated to Lê Phô, Mai-Thu, and Vũ Cao Đàm, the painting embodies his lifelong synthesis of modern color harmonies and atmospheric backgrounds carrying Vietnamese values of contemplation, grace, and the endurance of cultural memory into a timeless present.

“The Story of Manora” by Chakrapan Posayakrit / จักรพันธุ์ โปษยกฤต (Thai) – Oil on canvas / 1995 – Museum of Contemporary Art (Bangkok, Thailand) #WomenInArt #MOCABangkok #ThaiArt #ThaiArtist #arte #art #artText #artwork #ChakrapanPosayakrit #จักรพันธุ์โปษยกฤต #BlueskyArt #figurativeArt #neo-traditionalism

In this luminous forest scene, seven celestial bird-maidens known as kinnari dance beneath a veil of emerald light. Each figure wears a tall gilded headdress, jeweled corset, and peacock-feathered wings that shimmer blue to gold as they arc through the air. The central maiden, Manora, tilts her face toward an unseen sound, arms poised mid-gesture while her sisters encircle her in synchronized motion. Their delicate fingers trace the sinuous curves of Nora dance, each wrist bent like a note in music. Beneath them, lotus flowers bloom at the forest’s edge, their petals echoing the dancers’ layered silks. The light glows as if from within their skin, softening the dense foliage into a dreamlike mist of turquoise, violet, and jade. Manora kneels, one wing lowered to the pond signifying her descent from the celestial realm, the instant before discovery. The composition ripples in a counterclockwise rhythm, guiding our eyes through harmony, joy, and the quiet tremor of fate.

Thai artist Chakrapan Posayakrit’s “The Story of Manora” visualizes the opening act of the ancient Thai legend of Manora, the half-bird princess who descends from the Himavanta forest to dance upon earth. Caught by a human hunter and later married to Prince Suthon, she embodies the tension between freedom and devotion, spirit and flesh. Here, Chakrapan captures the moment before loss like the perfection of grace unbroken by sorrow. His colorful palette, a fusion of theatre and serenity, references southern Thailand’s Manora dance-drama where myth becomes movement. The painting stands as both narrative and elegy: a meditation on beauty suspended between two worlds.

“In her flight, lies the longing of the human heart for heaven.”

Recognized as a National Artist in Thailand, Posayakrit is intimately familiar with the myth, currency of dance and ritual, and the visual language of Thai art history and he uses that fluency to create something rich and resonant.

Gay Fine Art

@gayfineart.bsky.social

Pedro Vallenilla's art blended eroticism with nationalism reflecting the tension between official ideals and personal desire in mid-century Venezuela. Like his paintings, his sculptures emphasized idealized males in heroic or mythological poses.
