According to the owner of the mansion, the graffiti artwork is painted by artist Le Long. As the mansion has four floors in total, Long has to lift himself up on a crane to finish the whole mansion. The artist spent around 8-18 hours a day on 30 consecutive days to complete this meaningful work.

"Graffiti is not so common in Vietnam. I create this work in hope of changing people's perspective about Grafitti, that Graffiti is an art picture with content, clear message and made with dedication. Graffiti works are not just some scribbles you see on the street", Long told VOV.
