Commenting on the works participating in this year's competition, Master, artist Nguyen The Son, lecturer at the School of Interdisciplinary Sciences and Arts, Hanoi National University, Head of the Jury, said he was particularly impressed with the works using traditional materials such as lacquer, watercolor, silk, etc., which were expressed creatively and richly in both content and form.
According to Dr. Le Xuan Kieu, Director of the Center for Cultural and Scientific Activities of the Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam, Head of the Organizing Committee, the works convey spiritual values and messages about Quoc Tu Giam, the first national school of the country - where Vietnamese moral values are nurtured. Also through this contest, from those values, we can arouse and nurture the love for heritage of the younger generation.
“These paintings not only tell stories of the past, but also open up an inspiring dialogue between heritage and today's generation – where tradition meets creativity, and heritage is lit up by the love, pride and responsibility of Vietnamese youth,” said Dr. Le Xuan Kieu.
The works are on display from now until December 7 at the Thai Hoc House, Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam./.
