Buffalo is a very familiar animal, playing an important role in the culture and life of Vietnamese people since ancient times; symbolizes hard work, gentleness, health, simplicity and is associated with the childhood of children in the countryside, demonstrating the strong bond between humans and animals.
The Kim nguu painting depicts 13 buffaloes corresponding to the concept of luck and fortune in Eastern culture. Still using the technique of drawing silhouettes without drawing images, the blurry appearance of images of people, ancient roofs and buffaloes is already a trio in each person's subconscious.
Buffaloes appear in many positions, when following the herd, when separating from the herd, when going in the opposite direction, when grazing, when plowing, when fighting, but all are in the twilight, which is a message of peace and diversity of life.
