Deep appreciation for Vietnam’s artistic legacy and share it with the world.
Lumen Artspace was born out of a deep appreciation for Vietnam’s artistic legacy and a desire to share it with the world. Lacquer art, with its centuries-old tradition, is more than just a medium—it’s a reflection of Vietnam’s soul.
At Lumen Artspace, we aim to preserve this heritage while fostering a deeper understanding of Vietnamese culture. Every piece in our collection is carefully selected to represent the skill, passion, and stories of the artists who create them.
THE ART
OF LACQUER

A Timeless Vietnamese Tradition
Lacquer painting is one of Vietnam’s most revered art forms, with a history that spans over a thousand years. Originating from the craft of lacquerware, this medium evolved into a sophisticated artistic practice under the influence of French colonialism in the early 20th century. Today, it stands as a symbol of Vietnam’s cultural identity and artistic innovation.
The process of creating a lacquer painting is both intricate and labor-intensive. Artists layer natural resin from the lacquer tree onto wooden boards, often incorporating materials like eggshell, gold leaf, and mother-of-pearl to achieve stunning textures and depth. Each piece can take months, or even years, to complete, as the layers must dry and be polished repeatedly to reveal their final brilliance.
Beyond its technical mastery, lacquer art captures the essence of Vietnam—its lush landscapes, vibrant traditions, and enduring spirit. At Lumen Artspace, we celebrate this extraordinary art form and invite you to experience its beauty for yourself.

Lacquer art is a testament to Vietnam’s rich cultural heritage. From its ancient origins to its modern revival, this art form has evolved into a symbol of national pride and artistic excellence. Here are some key milestones in its history
