Born in 1979, Phan Minh Bach graduated from the Vietnam University of Fine Arts in 2004. After more than ten years working as a graphic designer and layout artist at Tien Phong newspaper, she left to pursue her art full-time, quickly establishing herself as a prominent contemporary silk painter.

Influenced and guided by her father - artist Phan Bao, a painter, history and culture researcher, from a young age, Phan Minh Bach was exposed to traditional brushes and practiced calligraphy and classical ink painting. Based on her thorough education, the feminine aesthetic sensibility, and ideas influenced by Taoism's philosophy of natural spontaneity, Phan Minh Bach has developed an idiosyncratic approach to silk: both skillfully controlled and randomly wild and loose. The figures in her works have a minimalist forms insinuating an effortless action, the authenticity and simplicity. The required techniques and journey to master the medium, on the other hand, are an extended labor and calculation with each brushstroke marking then being washed away relentlessly - a long process demanding an equilibrium of meticulousness, delicacy and boldness. Following that process, the themes of Phan Minh Bach's works also record her journey of discovery about the ego, the ‘non-being’ as well as presence of femininity outside the limits of human existence, in the primitive era, merely based on space-time reference of the universe.

In recent years, Bạch has been actively involved in several group exhibitions in Hanoi and has also held her first solo exhibition, Mây Ngỏ (Open Clouds), at ART30 Gallery in 2023.
