It is always question of land in the news, in novels, in the personal story of everybody.
Being displaced by a natural disaster: a tornado, a hurricane, an earthquake, an eruption of a volcano, because the desert is widening and I is not possible to cultivate anything anymore.
Being obliged to leave a land because of a war or a conflict, because a country is suddenly divided, because one is accused of being a political danger. Being a refugee.
Staying where we are born by choice or deciding to live that place, coming back or not. Leaving behind family and friends. Being an expatriate.
I am very interested in continuing to work on that.
The three paintings are part of my exhibition
"Here it's Peace", actually at the San Diego Art Institute.
