Niệm

I folded these “Niệm” pieces
when my dad’s health declined sharply
and my mom’s health is not good either
but these pieces are not only just for them
but also for you
and for me
chanting
praying
My dad asked me to put the one he liked
on the bookcase facing his bed
he passed away
shortly after
the first week of 2016
(we like to think
he just
left
to visit my grandma
and his dear friends)

on the bookshelf
above is my grandpa’s
black and white drawing
years ago

my dad’s “Niệm” painting
my father is a prolific painter
and he paints
and paints
until his last days

What an incredibly talented and beautiful family. Your father instilled the best in you and he was a proud man. You are very lucky to have had such a wonderful father in your life; he will always be in your heart and soul. Smile
Cher Giang Dinh
Tes nouvelles oeuvres sont de toute beauté encore. C’est juste magnifique de sobriété, de délicatesse. Nous avons été très émus de penser que ton père, beau peintre aussi, a regardé ce pliage et est parti en paix. Nous avons aussi été émus de voir que ton frère avait été en sympathie avec Paris si lourdement frappé en novembre, et dans notre quartier, ce beau 11e arrondissement si vivant. Je me suis permis de mettre vos deux oeuvre sur ma page Facebook. Toute notre amitié t’accompagne. Les Clavel

I am very sorry about your loss, Master Dinh.
What a talented, talented family! Thank you for
everything you do and leave behind, for the world.
Dear anh Giang,
The origami, and the paintings show such serene beauty. Just like your beloved Dad, he’s got something totally zen about him. Your Dad will be totally missed by everyone who has a chance to meet him.
Dear Giang- so sorry for your loss, but the creative spirit of your father was shared, and passed on to you and your brother. You and your family are not only artists, but also poets. You find beauty and magic within few strokes. We are thankful for your gifts.
To life Master Giang.
Really Beautiful…
Thank you very much for sharing..
.I bless your father.
