According to Dung, creating a sculpture is hard, but it is even more difficult to combine sculpture with lacquer, requiring many stages of work, totally by hand, from designing to lacquering and polishing.

Vu Dung said cats are close friends of humans. While sculpturing the “Cat family”, he tried to make the cats as lively as possible, with papa cat featuring strength, determination and firmness, mama cat displaying tenderness, and the kitten with an agile and playful appearance.

The “Cat family” brings wishes for a prosperous and happy new lunar year.
