Trịnh Cẩm Nhi is a contemporary Vietnamese artist born in Hanoi in 1996. After graduating from the Accademia di Belle Arti Roma with a BFA in Fine Art in 2019, she returned to Vietnam and made her first appearance with a solo exhibition, “Garden of Unknowing”, at Casa Italia, Hanoi.

Nhi's artistic practice primarily revolves around oil painting on canvas, where she delves into the intricate world of botanical forms and their subtle human allusions. Her work exudes a surreal and primitive quality, inviting viewers into an enigmatic realm. Her innocent and expressive style of painting has become a hallmark of her artistic identity.

Nhi has participated in numerous group exhibitions, including "Ask" at VCCA, Hanoi; Virtual Private Realms" at Manzi, Hanoi; and "Swallow and Spit" at A+ Works of Art, Kuala Lumpur. In 2023, she collaborated with sculptress Lap Phuong for the duo show "Fragment of Soul" at Centec Tower, Ho Chi Minh City. This exhibition marked a significant shift in her approach, as she experimented with grid structures to explore the interplay between rhythms of nature and human introspection.

In 2024, Nhi participated in the Vietnamese Art Collection's Residency program and held her second solo exhibition “White Night”. She continues to live and work as an independent artist in Hanoi.
