Ideas for Painting
Saigon is a multi-cultural city with many places of interest and luxurious buildings intermingled with the livelihoods of common people and immigrant groups. Along with hectic stream of life, we can find here and there people taking a rest or just a quick siesta, leaving behind all their worries. Many would rest on their out- of- date vehicles which are as close as buddies to them, and these buddies are actually their means for earning their living. These scenes inspired Dang Quang Tien to create his series of “Saigon Siestas” and “Familiar Friends”.
