A representative of the Ukraine Falun Gong Association said that every painting describes a story about Falun Gong practitioners. They depict the brutal persecution suffered by Falun Gong practitioners in China who maintain their firm belief in Truth-Compassion-Forbearance in the face of brutal persecution.

At the opening ceremonies, a local artist said, "From the artworks of this art exhibition, we can see these artists trying to inspire people's conscience through art, faith, and Falun Gong practitioners' firm and unyielding spirit."

A visitor said, "Every artwork is a masterpiece. The characters' expressions are very life like and I feel a kind of strength. The artwork about the Chinese Communist regime's organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners makes one's heart feel very heavy."

After viewing the "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" International Art Exhibition, many visitors offered feedback. They hoped it could be extended and held in different places so that more people could learn that "Falun Dafa is good" and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good".

The artworks displayed at the exhibition were created by a group of renowned artists from different backgrounds. Through practicing Falun Dafa, they obtained health in body and mind and greatly improved their spiritual well being. Their artworks displayed the righteous, pure, compassionate and bright side of life by using traditional techniques. The artworks fully demonstrate the beauty of cultivation and expose the ongoing persecution of Falun Gong in China. They deliver the truth that "good is rewarded and evil meets with retribution" and illustrate Falun Gong practitioners' firm and unyielding spirit in their resistance to the persecution.
