Sinh Folk Paintings is combination of traditional cultural values with ancient artistic methods that have been created through the labor of past generations. Most Sinh Village paintings are used for worship, and they express the mystical, nature-based beliefs of the ancient Vietnamese. Sinh paintings are made using just one printing-board to create the drawing lines and black shapes. After being printed in black, the work is sometimes completed with embellishments made with colorful lines. Some paintings are still printed on rustic paper.
