Nguyen Son
“To me, painting comes naturally as breathing. Black ink on thin paper coming from the East together with structural analytic ideology from the West on my own and unique perception help me express all the nuances in my state of mind. The more I paint, the more clearly I see that my path is connected closely to nature, to the art community, and always so it would be. I know one day I would fade away to nothingness but my works will still become beautiful memories left somewhere on this living earth."
