Childhood in Colors: ‘Mầm Xanh’ Art Exhibition at Ana Mandara Villas Dalat
Ana Mandara Villas Dalat is not only a retreat for grown-up footsteps seeking serenity, but also a nurturing land for young sprouts just beginning to grow. Amid the timeless French villas nestled in pine forests, a magical world unfolded during the recent International Children’s Day, where art, emotion, and childhood intertwined in a space rich in elegance and heritage.
“Mầm Xanh” Painting Exhibition at Le Lycée Artspace
Within the grounds of these heritage French villas, Le Lycée Artspace lit up with the vibrant hues of childhood. The “Mầm Xanh” (Green Sprouts) exhibition took place from May 30 to June 1, right on the occasion of International Children’s Day, as a harmonious symphony of over 50 paintings by young artists from art studios like Cọ Xù, Mình Cầm Cọ, and guest contributor Art House.
Each painting was a pure and fearless expression a tender soul rendered through brushstrokes. These works were displayed alongside the relief sculpture “Hạnh Phúc” (Happiness) and passionate artistic studies by Mr. Đặng Ngọc Trân, as if whispering a heartfelt message: from today’s little sprouts will grow the resilient trees of tomorrow.
Visitors didn’t just come to see the artwork, but to truly listen to childhood, to feel life sprouting between nature and art — two forces long in harmony within the human spirit.
Touching a Magical World: Acrylic Painting Workshop
Beyond admiring the art, the children at Ana Mandara Villas were invited to become artists themselves in a hands-on Acrylic Painting Workshop, a place where colors know no boundaries and imagination is lovingly guided by dedicated mentors.
In a serene space bathed in gentle morning light, little hands began their journey of discovery through color. Hesitant brushstrokes slowly bloomed into vibrant patches of color, like butterflies fluttering through early summer leaves, light and full of life. Here, there is no right or wrong — only sincere expressions from innocent hearts.
The children not only learned how to hold a brush, mix colors, and shape forms, but more importantly, they learned to listen to themselves — to understand their emotions, translate thoughts into images, and find joy in creation. Each painting became a private world, a glimpse into a young soul just beginning to tell stories through art.
And when the artwork was complete, each child carefully brought it home, a small gift made with their own hands, filled with pride and love. More than just their first artistic creation, it became a treasured memory of summer, quietly carried within even after the season fades.
A Fairytale Among the Pines: Activities for Children at Ana Mandara
If childhood had a form, then at Ana Mandara Villas, it would surely appear as a treehouse tucked in the forest, a swing swaying in the breeze, or a quiet afternoon picnic beneath the whispering pines with parents close by. No rush, no noise just laughter, rustling leaves, and serene family moments.
But childhood at Ana is more than play. It’s a time where creativity blossoms naturally and gently. In the warm morning sun, children paint their own worlds where imagination is the truest guide and every color is welcome. Each completed artwork holds a story, a dream, and a piece of a magical childhood.
Alongside painting, cooking sessions with parents offered another heartwarming experience. When tiny hands get to wash vegetables, pick flowers, and help make a delicious dish with mom and dad, it becomes a simple yet priceless joy of childhood.
Every activity at Ana is designed as a thread weaving connections between children and nature, between children and their parents, and between humans and their innermost feelings. What lingers isn’t just a painting or a sweet dish, but the gentle memories of childhood that stay forever.
Wishing Happiness for the Green Sprouts
We believe that young sprouts, if nurtured in soft sunlight, raised with love by their families, and cradled by the open arms of nature, will one day carry with them a beautiful world a world full of empathy, freedom, and imagination. Every gentle experience in those early years becomes a quiet foundation for a peaceful and resilient soul.
If you’re searching for a place where the entire family can be fully present together, to play, explore, learn, and collect tender memories, then Ana Mandara Villas Dalat is where childhood dreams quietly bloom, in the midst of green forests, in the sound of rustling pines, and in every precious, love-filled moment.
