Vietnamese Silk Hand Painting: an intangible cultural heritage

First made in Vietnam around 4,000 years ago, silk is a natural fiber that comes from the cocoons of silk worms. Once considered to be only for the nobility, this luxurious fabric is now more widely available, though it retains its status as a uniquely special fabric made by expert artisans. Feeding on mulberry leaves, the silk worms grow and build their cocoons, from which the silk thread is extracted. Astonishingly, it takes around 3,000 silkworms consuming 104 kilograms of mulberry leaves to make one kilogram of silk! The silk thread is very fine when extracted from the cocoon and so five to ten threads are twisted together to form a yarn, which is known as raw silk. The raw silk is then dyed and woven on wooden looms to create the beautiful silk fabric we see in shops!

Silk painting is a unique art form traditional to Vietnam, and some of the earliest pieces date back to the 15th and 16th centuries. Before painting, the silk is stretched on a wooden frame. Silk painters then usually sketch out their design as one paint is applied, it is very difficult to change. When painting, the artist often paints first with the lighter colors and then moves to darker colors, using several layers to create the beauty and depth of a silk painting. Often parts of the painting, such as the sky, are purposely not painted to let the texture of the silk fabric become part of the painting. The Vietnamese style uses colors and techniques that distinguish it from Chinese or Japanese silk painting and has been very popular on the world stage since an exhibition in Paris in the 1930s.
