Painting
All my worries were conveyed in the paintings that became the archives of that period.

My story of the COVID-19 pandemic began in November 2020. When my family became seriously ill with Covid.
The only way to distract from terrible thoughts and not go crazy in complete isolation was painting.
This story is about hope. About the hope of staying true to yourself, in the midst of eternal madness. Sometimes we set boundaries that we can’t get rid of. Every day we try more and more to meet the expectations of others.
With the words “Don’t disappoint me” you fall asleep every night and wake up every morning. And in this continuous chaos there comes a moment when you, absorbed in social darkness, become another faceless person without will and feelings as a part of gray biomass.
