Ink and Other Stories 

"Ink and Other Stories" is a captivating art exhibition showcasing a collection of 12-17 paintings, each meticulously crafted using a harmonious blend of Chinese ink and needle drafting pen on various paper materials. The artwork gracefully intertwines popular themes from classical ink-wash painting, such as nature, serenity, and timeless beauty, with the distinct, rugged allure of the Norwegian landscape. Each painting is paired with a short story, approximately 600 words in length, that delves into the narrative behind the artwork, offering deeper insights and emotional connections. These stories are presented in three languages—Vietnamese, English, and Norwegian—enhancing the exhibition's accessibility and cultural richness.

Blue Wonderment Exhibition

The theme ‘Blue Wonderment’ came to Jan as she reflected on her experience of Covid times in Norway. 

The year 2021 was a difficult period for the entire world, with many people sad and worried, at times rather cold and blue. But blue is also a color for deep contemplation, curiosity, and even hopeful planning. 

People have had more time at home, time to think about what matters, and a chance to plan together for a better future.
