"I agreed with Artist Trinh Tuan - Founder of Asia Art Link, that with Covid 19 pandemic being a barrier, the artists of the 5th Ha Noi Art Connecting are still very excited and yearning to work, to create, and to share art, joys and sorrows together and above all, they want to connect with the masses."

"I love the feeling of being immersed in making art next to artists from all over the world. This creates inspiration in creativity, helping painting works to be more liberal and sublimate. We talk, we learn, observe how other artists present their work in an open space. Usually, people can only admire works of art when participating in exhibitions. But when you witness the process of creating something, as an artist, there are many levels of emotions."

Like other artists when coming to the program, artist Kim Duc carefully prepared the ideas to show. The female artist revealed that her picture will be about the global economy during the epidemic period and also send a message of hope for peace to everyone.
