Sharing with reporters, the female artist said that instead of choosing luxurious decorations, she aims for traditional, close features, creating a cozy highlight for her home in the early spring days.
I like the old Tet space of my grandparents in the past, so I want to recreate the Tet atmosphere at home as a way to teach my children to love the traditional beauty" - the female artist said.
According to shares, Trinh Kim Chi and the crew spent about two days completing the Tet miniature landscape. The large garden in front of the villa was maximally utilized to create a miniature Tet space with bamboo, rattan, leaf roofs, straw and rustic materials.
The combination of modern architecture of the villa and decorated space with a rural soul creates a harmonious overall, both nostalgic and new.
In the campus, many small corners are meticulously cared for. A wall hanging bamboo curtains, red horizontal lacquered boards and models of string firecrackers and red clay pigs symbolize prosperity and luck. Under large trees, the female artist arranges thatched huts, piles of yellow straw and pots of blooming chrysanthemums, evoking the scenery of the Southern countryside every Tet holiday.
The open and airy space of the garden is also transformed into a miniature rural market, dotted with high-mounted LED lights, creating a shimmering feeling when the evening falls.
Some decorative corners bear the imprint of old memories such as simple bamboo tables and chairs, red watermelon models, green banh chung or glass jars containing pickled onions and jams placed on traditional patterned scarves.
The female artist also recreates the traditional living room with black and white TVs, wooden canvas sets and pink peach branches by the blue window frame, evoking the image of Tet of many decades ago.
In addition, the spring colors are enhanced by the combination of yellow apricot blossoms, pink peach blossoms and many elaborately shaped flower pots, covering the front yard of the house.
Trinh Kim Chi said that decorating the house herself every Tet holiday not only helps refresh the living space but also brings joy to the whole family. For her, Tet is a time to return to traditional values, preserve cultural memories and create a warm gathering space for relatives and friends to visit and take photos.
Many viewers expressed their excitement at the way the female artist brought the soul of her hometown into a modern villa, both simple and aesthetically rich.
