FROM THE ARTIST:
 

After the cold winter which brought the COVID-19 pandemic, here comes the spring goddess with swallow-shaped earrings bringing us news that spring has come. Her eyes are beaming light into the calm spring. I continue painting, hoping that the pandemic ends and a hopeful spring arrives to every corner of the world.
