"I finally
found my inner peace, and it reflects in my creations. My art embraces
the nostalgic and romantic ambiance of Hue, of the glorious past, and
of the divine, dream like beauty that I have yet to reconcile with today's
civilization. My subjects reflect my heart and soul and are not challenging,
for I want my viewers to appreciate and enjoy them as if they were actually
creating the artworks themselves."-Do Duy Tuan
