On September 9, at Katara Cultural Village - Qatar's leading center for arts and cultural exchange, the Vietnamese Embassy in Qatar in coordination with the Katara Organizing Committee solemnly opened the "Soul of Vietnam" art exhibition.

The event, which runs from September 9-20, will introduce to the Qatari public and international friends the unique works of three Vietnamese artists from different generations and schools.

The three artists present at the exhibition demonstrate the diversity, depth and creativity of Vietnamese fine arts. Painter Nguyen Minh Son, one of the leading names in contemporary art, has brought landscape paintings capturing the peaceful beauty of his homeland. With vibrant colors and strong brushstrokes, his paintings not only evoke emotions but also evoke nostalgia for nature and life in Vietnam.

In addition, artist Khong Do Duy brings works with strong symbolic and conventional qualities, deeply influenced by Eastern philosophy. The harmonious combination of tradition and modernity, between the spirit of meditation and unique composition, makes his paintings create a balanced space, imbued with the breath of Asia.

In particular, female artist Vuong Linh - known as the "rose" of Vietnamese fine arts, breathes new vitality into the exhibition. Inspired by nature and the vitality of spring, her paintings are rich in poetry, bringing viewers a sense of peace, optimism and vitality.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Vietnamese Ambassador to Qatar Nguyen Huy Hiep said: “The exhibition is not only an art event, but also a cultural bridge connecting the two nations. Through these paintings, we hope the Qatari public can feel the Vietnamese soul - a nation rich in strength, humanity and creativity, while also strengthening the friendship and mutual understanding between the two countries.”

According to the Ambassador, the choice of the name “Vietnamese Soul” has a profound meaning. This is not only an introduction to the image of the country and its people, but also demonstrates the spirit of love for peace, respect for diversity and optimism for the future of the Vietnamese people.

The exhibition is part of the cultural diplomacy and people-to-people diplomacy orientation that the Vietnamese Embassy in Qatar always focuses on implementing. Through artistic events, the Embassy hopes to complement the increasingly developing political and economic relations between the two countries, while contributing to spreading Vietnamese cultural values to the international community.

Ambassador Nguyen Huy Hiep also expressed his deep gratitude to Katara Cultural Village for its enthusiastic support in organizing the exhibition in a prestigious and iconic space in promoting international dialogue and exchange.
