A Reflection on Creativity, Compassion, and Our Shared Humanity
I can't deny that the escalating global violence profoundly impacts me and my work. While I won't make political statements today, my stance is clear: I stand with the defenseless, who are suffering and dying in numbers too vast and in ways too cruel. Even in peaceful nations, my values place compassion before rules and authorities.

This period has brought an amount of stress I didn't even experience during the COVID lockdown. Back then, I found peace and inspiration in my studio, leading to a fruitful creative phase. Today, it's a huge struggle to find the focus to create new work, despite the powerful feelings I long to express through my art.
How are you navigating this challenging time? Has your work halted, shifted direction, or slowed down? Are you buying or selling less art? Please share your thoughts with me.
Happy Art Life!
