Our motif that we called “1000 queens” is actually not that…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

This photo was taken in Sri Lanka in the small town of Negombo… it was the first town I visited after landing and experienced a culture shock…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Economic underdevelopment and the seeming cruelty of life is not something I was ready to face to such an extent…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
But as time went on, I recognized other values that eventually delighted me…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The picture shows a deaf and mute single father.<\/span><\/span> He and his boy lived in this studio where the father painted and dreamed of earning enough to send his son to study in America…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Most of the pictures showed his image, the image of a barefoot boy…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I bought as many pictures as I could take…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When I returned home to Split, I continued painting his image on silk.<\/span><\/span> I still paint it today… As a memory of their good spirit, modesty, simplicity, gentleness and warmth, a memory of a country where there is little and much is given.<\/span><\/span> We added a crown to him because I wanted to believe that they succeeded and that he was living the life of a king.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I never found out if the boy went to study in America.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
