I enjoy his paintings surprisedly in admiring his inspirations and the audacity in his new creative style.

He knows affirming himself.”

“ Your paintigns remind me “the spirit of the cave paintings” of the end of The Stone Age”.
“It is a talentfull of living force that is reaching to the new horizons of fine ars with a lot of hard researches for the deep beauty of life and with the tests for new styles.”
“Being mind in behaving but furious like the wild beast in paintings, so young as all other young persons but he paints like children do. He has got good successes with his big lacquers and now he gets the same ones again with his new paintings of medium dimensions. I can not know how many other dimensions could be suistable to his future painting, but I am sure that he will have new excellent harvest of creations with whatever demensions, meterials, in whatever time because his love for The Beauty has not been drained – sometimes is flaming as for the first time. I believe that”.

“ The painter Van Tho was very Well – known with his big lacquers and oil paintings of great subjects shown at solemn places. And now again, he presents a new oil paintings exhibition with bright colours, free painting brush trails, delicious masses of colours, however his paintings are full of simplicity and nationalisty.
He works with the top of his force and lives by his carrier and that is really an admirable example of hand work and creation.”
