Tran Luu Hau is one of the 22 artists who trained in the 'Khang Chien' Resistance Class of the Vietnam University of Fine Arts, under the late Master To Ngoc Van. In 1950, the college was moved to the hills of the Viet Bac Resistance Zone where students read philosophy, drawing, and composition. There, artists worked for the revolutionary cause using art as a tool for propaganda. In his later career, Hau went on to paint more timeless and poetic subjects and is known for his exuberant, colourful, and expressive paintings of flowers, nudes, and still lifes.

His work has been described as expressionistic, with bold and bright strokes that escape the boundaries of form. Flowers in red vase exemplifies the artist's exuberant style, as he captures an almost abstracted representation of a floral bouquet. Tran Luu Hau's works have been exhibited internationally, and his paintings are preserved in prestigious collections including the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum, the Asian Museum of Russia, the Asian Art Museum in Poland, Chase Manhattan Bank, Accor Hotel Group, Tokyo Mitsubishi Bank Manhattan, and the Singtel Art Collection.
