Post by Viet Ha Tran

It's a pleasure to be featured in this article by Aesthetica Magazine as a longlisted artist, thank you. "Today, we’re spotlighting five longlisted photographers from the Aesthetica Art Prize who are redefining how we see the landscape. These lens-based artists move beyond the obvious, transforming the natural world into something immersive and unexpected. Some draw our attentions towards the climate crisis, urging audiences to refocus their attention on protecting the environment while we still can. Others look back to an earlier time, when humanity lived in harmony with the natural world. Each image is an opportunity to look at our surroundings anew, and consider an alternative way of living." Viet Ha Tran Vietnam-born, Madrid-based artist Viet Ha Tran works across painting and fine art photography. Her practice explores nature through abstraction, centring on vast landscapes and delicate ecosystems to compare inner landscapes with the external world. Tran’s work is recognised for atmospheric depth and philosophical sensitivity. The Soul of Landscape, made in Tràng An, Vietnam, uses Taoist philosophy to transform UNESCO locations into dreamlike, painterly visions. She has collaborated with Amazon, Louis Vuitton and Samsung, and was named a “Top 25 Artist to Collect” in 2025 by Artsper. https://lnkd.in/ezzji-CV
