Ngoc Diem debuted Ngoc Nam Phuong Art Gallery with the first art exhibition with a contemporary spirit. This location gave birth to the love of painting of Chiko - the beauty queen's daughter.
"I often sit and watch paintings with my children as a habit. Then one day, I realized that every painting is a connection, from children to me, to grandparents. I gradually realized that art can connect souls, despite differences in age, generation and experience. I wish I had a space where everyone could feel that," Ngoc Diem expressed.
On this occasion, Ngoc Diem also brought a series of meditation, emotional and connecting artistic experiences, including a bell meditation workshop - where women learn to listen to their own breathing, the sound of silence, thereby touching the door to inner peace; planting flowers and making candles - a form of meditation, where the hands and mind go together to evoke the inherent gentleness in each person; opening art talk show - where stories are told through paintings, words, looks and a complete presence.
The entire activity also has a greater meaning in it, which is to raise funds for the community project "When Life Flourishes", aiming to support 1 million women and female students in difficult circumstances.
"We bring a space to converge multi-material paintings from lacquer, silk to oil paint. Each painting is a self-expression, a true belief of the mother, the sister, the friend, the lover and the female artist herself. At the same time, we organize artistic seminars, exchanges with artists, and interactive events so that art no longer has distance, but is the glue that connects harmonious souls, Ngoc Diem expressed.
Ngoc Diem was born in 1987, crowned Miss Tourism Vietnam 2008.
She is currently an MC, doing business in the beauty and real estate industry.
She hosted Miss Universe Vietnam in 2015, 2017, Miss Ethnic Groups of Vietnam, Miss International Vietnamese Identification, and the APEC Da Nang 2017 Conference.
