 "Art is a distinctive but  rare-to- find form of life.  I have painted in all different situations, locations without realizing why.  There are times when I almost felt desperate and there are also times when I ahd a sense of being redeemed.  And I continue to paint and to mediate."   - ĐINH CƯỜNG -
