As a guest attending the Exhibition, Prof. Dr. Dam Won Kim Chang Bae - Vice President of the Korean Art Association affectionately appreciated the enthusiasm of Vietnamese artists.
"Speaking about arts, there are no borders nor limits. In the future, I hope Vietnamese and Korean artists will have the opportunity to meet and support each other to grow up together. I also hope that we would work together with painter Nguyen Thi Kim Duc and the Vietnam Fine Arts Association to organize an exhibition on lotus paintings and Buddhism.
As a Buddhist, I love lotus very much. I have drawn many works about lotus, and researched and published books about lotus. For Koreans, the lotus flower is beautiful and pure even though it lives in mud. Therefore, I will return to Vietnam, go to many places to admire and produce more works about lotus. I also hope that not only Vietnamese people but people around the world can sympathize and love lotus flowers like me and art Painter Kim Duc," Mr. Dam Won Kim Chang Bae expressed.
The exhibition is scheduled until July 4.
