Believing that watercolor is a rich medium of art, the artists hope to bring Europe to Hanoi and art lovers despite the geographical distance.
Each scenery tells itself the story of a European country, from its history, place, and beauty. In this exhibition, watercolor has been used to depict the varied landscapes of Europe, from the views of the forest to the sea, from the city to the field, and from nature to built infrastructure, among others.

In addition to the exhibition, a workshop titled “Sun Shining over Poland” will be opened to the public. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the skills used in creating beautiful landscapes, especially Polish sceneries.
Nguyen Hoang Minh, a Hanoian who studied in Poland in the 1980s, said that she was excited about the exhibition and the booth that showcases Polish culture and cuisine. “Paintings in general and watercolors in particular successfully reflect the landscape, especially poetic sceneries in every part of the world and the exhibition once again bring us closer to nature,” she told The Hanoi Times.
On this occasion, Hoang Minh wanted to show her grandchildren of Polish food which shows a wide range of vegetables, spices, mushrooms, and herbs. Along with meat, particularly pork, and chicken, it is distinctive in that it also uses a variety of noodles, cereals, and grains.
Another thing that she expected to show her grandchildren is Polish literature, which holds an exceptional position in Poland as Most Polish literature has been written in the Polish language, though other languages used in Poland. “Polish literature is undoubtedly deserving of a spot among the best because of its sheer volume and inventiveness,” Hoang Minh shared.
