This is the public profile of John Trinh, Additional information and high-resolution images are available for accredited press members, to access additional information about John Trinh please login as a press member.About John Trinh : I love painting and drawing and experimenting in different areas in the art field. My concern when working on a project, especially on personal projects, is not about how much money I will make. My concern is always about whether my work is unique, fundamentally new, different and/or special or not. I focus mainly on what I feel strongly about, and that is the anti-war movements, peace, love, women's rights, anti-racism, discrimination in society and such.
STATEMENT OF ART:My motto in design and art in general is "less is more". I also I like Picasso's take on art and creativity: It takes a long time to become young, and Mother Theresa's quote: "Do ordinary things with extraordinary love."
