Tri’s paintings feature regulations related to the epidemic prevention and control measures, including wearing face mask, washing hands and not gathering in groups.

The artworks also raise the spirits and honour the services of medical workers, doctors, policemen, army forces and other forces working in the battle against COVID-19.

Tri said that as a citizen of Da Nang City, he wanted to do something to stand side by side with the city’s authorities in uniting the people and play to the strength of the entire community in repelling the disease.

Therefore, he came up with the idea of popularising practical messages to viewers and increase their understanding of how to protect themselves, their families and the community from the risk of COVID-19.

Tri’s act and paintings have been highly appreciated and widely shared by his friends and citizens in his residential area.
