(HBO) - Overcoming nearly 300 artists who are professional and amateur ones from 46 provinces and cities across the country with 365 competition entries, Mr. Nguyen Van Cong from the Center for Culture and Cinema of Hoa Binh province has been awarded the first prize for the work "Stepping under the glorious Party’s flag” – the prize for the propaganda campaign to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the establishment of the Communist Party of Vietnam (February 3rd, 1930 - February 3rd, 2020), organized by the local Culture Department (the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) coordinated with Vinh Phuc People's Committee in the middle of January.
The artist Nguyen Van Cong always dedicates his passion to
composing fine art works.
The work "Stepping under the glorious Party’s flag” is
inspired by the content of the whole Party, the entire people believing in the
Party's leadership. The image of a brunch of sunflowers facing the sun is the
power of the whole Party and people, the entire army stepping 90 years under the
red flag with a hammer and a sickle...
We met Mr. Cong at his home on Thinh Lang Street (Hoa Binh
City). The house is really scientifically arranged by a professional artist,
and it is also full of colorful art. It has been all designed and built by him
and his wife. One place is the outlines of the homeland, the dreaming people of
Hoa Binh, the other place is for a fresh Dong Ho painting, the lake of
hydroelectric plant with the immense power. Another one is for a painting of
the young lady taking a bath in the springs...
All is a space full of artistic
desires of the person loving beauty, dropping soul into nature, people. He is
the director of a graphic design and advertising company with a lot of work to
do. The company’s work, the design work, the creative writing and the art
activities fill his time.
He says that painting, especially composing cheerleading
paintings is not so simple. To have the work of high quality bringing high
communication efficiency, it is necessary to meet the requirements of fine
arts, requiring artists with real ability. It is important to always learn,
practice, equip themselves with a wide range of knowledge, conveying into a
work with a sexy, inspirational message, creating strong attraction,
excitement, optimism and so on.
Currently, Mr. Cong is implementing the propaganda plan to
celebrate the great holidays, the Seventeenth Provincial Party Congress, the 13thNational Party Congress, launching to compose cheerleading paintings and
organizing exhibitions and traveling exhibitions in localities in the province.
Hoa Binh province has carried out multiple programmes and initiatives to revive its cultural heritage which has gradually fallen into oblivion through the ebbs and flows of history.
The most prominent and defining feature in the prehistoric era of Hoa Binh is the Hoa Binh Culture. The Culture was first discovered in Hoa Binh. The significant prehistoric culture represents not only Vietnam but also Southeast Asia and southern China. Through excavations of cave sites in the limestone regions of Hoa Binh, French archaeologist M. Colani introduced the world to a "Stone Age in Hoa Binh province – Northern Vietnam" in 1927. On January 30, 1932, the First Congress of Far Eastern Prehistorians, held in Hanoi, officially recognised the Hoa Binh Culture.
Known as the "Land of Epic History”, Hoa Binh province, the gateway to Vietnam’s northwest, boasts a strategic location and a unique cultural tapestry woven by its ethnic minority communities.
The People's Committee of Luong Son District recently held a ceremony to receive the certificate recognizing Sau Communal House in Thanh Cao Commune as a provincial-level historical and cultural site.
Recognising the importance of cultural heritage preservation in protecting and promoting the value system of Vietnamese culture, and serving socio-economic development in the new period, Party committees and local administrations in Hoa Binh province have identified it as a key task in the cultural development strategy. The province has been making efforts in mobilising resources, creating consensus among people and engaging ethnic communities in preserving and promoting cultural identity.
Hoa Binh province has captured growing attention both domestically and internationally for its distinctive cultural heritage and rich history. Most notably, it has been renowned for its famous Hoa Binh culture, considered the cradle of ancient Vietnamese civilisation. Looking ahead to significant milestones in 2025 and the 140th anniversary of province establishment in 2026, Hoa Binh Newspaper presents a comprehensive overview of the province's development across economic, social, cultural, tourism, and security domains.
