Cuban painter Flora Fong encouranges island's artists to keep going | Video

Havana, Jul 2 (EFE).- Cuban painter Flora Fong, who for decades has intermingled the Caribbean and China in her works - just as they are mixed in her own blood - said that artists on the communist island must surmount the difficulties inherent in the serious crisis her country is experiencing and called on them to "preserve" the "high value and great prestige" of their national culture.

In an interview with EFE, the 73-year-old winner of Cuba's National Award for the Plastic Arts, who has exhibited her work in some 20 countries, acknowledged that local deficiencies and shortages are affecting her work, leading her - on one hand - to reflect on the situation and, on the other, to sharpen her ingenuity to overcome them.
