Joseph Inguimberty uses a rich palette, predominantly consisting of white and green hues. He utilizes "flat tints" and "matter," treating volume through juxtaposed patches of colour. The artist uses brushes and painting knives in substantial gestures, thereby creating an impression of vibrating space. In this manner, he "illuminates" his primary figures, meticulously delineating them from the luxuriant vegetation.

Inguimberty's subjects-whether the clothes, the hats, the gestures, or the small details such as the lacquered teeth of the young woman-are al meticulously observed. The artist resists indulgence in decoration, instead capturing the raw, elegant purity of rural Vietnam, which he perceives as both harsh and captivating. His work serves as a tribute to this vanishing world, preserving its essence as a tribute before it fades into history.
