From the organizer:

You are invited to the exhibition “Homeland and Sea” by painter Tran Manh Duc.

The artist shares:

“Drop the empty space in the time circle. Drop the soul in hardworking lives. The rhythm of water, wind, trees… Under the surface of my paintings are the metaphysical borders of form and colors, of consciousness and unconsciousness.

For me, drawing, getting to draw, and conversing with life by the experiences, worries and passion make me feel alive. And beyond all these things is the freedom to create in my own silent world.”
