| Mr. S.K. Modi delivered his address at the inaugural function of the Global Peace Forum. He said, "Most of the conflicts in today's time are emerging from religious intolerance and struggle for power. While we all know and recognize the urgent need for global peace, it is essential to find a neutral and universally accepted means of spreading this very important message. Art is a universal language where visual expression evokes raw emotions and is thus an
effective medium of conveying the very important message of peace and harmony. Indeed, powerful images of paintings can leave an ever-lasting impact on peoples' minds.
Unlike words which are spoken, heard and sometimes forgotten, art on canvas stays forever and so does the message it conveys".
