In response to the Government’s policy to promote cultural diplomacy in addition to the economic relations, an exhibition gathering many works of art made by diplomats, who are working in Vietnam, opened in Hanoi on October 23.
The exhibition displays many lacquer and oil color paintings and installations by twelve diplomats from eleven countries, who are art enthusiasts.
A lacquer painting titled “Raking Mussels” depicts the image of a poor old Vietnamese woman who patiently toiling to earn her living.
The painter Hoang Hai, who is a Vietnamese diplomat says that his painting was inspired by a real woman he saw working in the central region of Vietnam.
“I started drawing 10 years ago without any guidance. Despite my busy schedule, I have always tried to devote time to the arts, which makes me feel enormous relief from the pressure of work,” Mr Hai confides.
Falling in love with Vietnam’s green fields and hardworking Vietnamese women, Mrs Malsawmi Muana has made a number of oil paintings.
Living in Vietnam for two years with her husband, Indian Ambassador to Vietnam, Mrs Muana said she has been through many places in Vietnam and has been inspired by the Vietnamese landscape and women.
Dang Thi Khue, an art researcher, highly appreciates the works of diplomats, adding that their styles are very special and extraordinarily open as if they are free from having to adhere to any strict guidelines about art.
“The works depicts their sense of life and work. The arts can be considered one of the best ways to relieve stress after work, especially for diplomats whose duties put them under a great deal of pressure,” says Ms Khue.
The exhibition aims to reveal hidden corners deep inside the diplomats themselves, says Nguyen Nga, director of the Maison des Arts where the exhibition is being hosted.
“The diplomats, who are not only art enthusiasts but also genuine artists, brought us visual universes of creativity and diversity. And I hope that the exhibition which is considered an initiation of the Government’s policy on cultural diplomacy, will offer a good place for diplomats from around the world to share their spare-time interests as well as their country’s cultural values,” she adds.
The event will last until November 5 at the Maison des Arts, 31A Van Mieu Street, Hanoi.
