Description
Since the Covid-19 Pandemic began, I have been in isolation painting in my studio. I call this my salvation!
However, during these past weeks, I have been tormented by the tragedy that our world is facing. Thinking about all the people’s sufferings, especially those in the medical world. They’re true heroes, being out there every single day, risking their lives in order to keep us alive.
The thought of their sacrifice and despair turned my energy into painting.
I just completed this painting, which I called “Anguish and Hope”.
