The serene beauty of nature and the simple yet earnest lives of the farmers and labourers who surrounded him during his formative years helped shape his artistic sensibility. In 1954, Lưu Công Nhân graduated with distinction from the first Resistance Class of the Vietnam University of Fine Arts, where he was mentored by the revolutionary painter Tô Ngọc Văn following the school's relocation to the Viet Bac Resistance Zone. The combination of his natural artistic dispositions and the skills he acquired during his studies positioned him as one of Tô Ngọc Văn's most promising students. Lưu Công Nhân is celebrated for the variety of his works. He demonstrated a mastery of multiple art genres, including female nude paintings - for which he is particularly revered - landscapes, rural scenes and still lifes. His mastery spanned several media, including oil, watercolour and paper. His painting style bore the unmistakable influence of French Impressionism. However, Lưu Công Nhân carved out his own niche by blending these western aesthetics with those of oriental calligraphy. The result was a unique style characterised by a variety of expressive and spontaneous strokes. Each stroke encapsulated an aspect of Lưu Công Nhân's existence, vividly portraying the artist's life experiences, emotional spectrum, aspirations, and dreams. He painted his subjects using singular and unrepeated brushstrokes, the mastery of which simultaneously required emotional and physical balance, intense concentration, as well as a release of the resulting pressure. Lưu Công Nhân's contributions to the art world were not limited to Vietnam. His numerous exhibitions at home and abroad are a testament to his international recognition. The awards and honours he received not only underscore his artistic prowess, but also how his art transcends geographical boundaries. At heart, Lưu Công Nhân was not just a painter; he was a storyteller whose canvases told tales of emotional depth rooted in natural beauty - echoing the harmonious simplicity and sincere narratives inherent in rural life.
