Rebirth.
‘I want to say good morning April – even though it is night; I don’t know what colors will these drawings turn out to be but what I do know is that I want to be happy and present’. (01.04)
The daily aquarelle drawings gain bright colors: I anticipate April, expecting it to be light and full of flowers – I finish the projects which seemed impossible to get done after all the hectic events before. My mom comes to the Netherlands and we go to see tulips – I observe her fascination and all the hundreds of pictures of flowers she’s taking and it makes me happy to see her smile. From here we go to Italy and I dissolve in a tangerine field: I draw it laying on one of the branches, dogs watch me and here we are in this silent, speechless dialogue. I missed Sveta – we did not see each other for such a long time – and I feel grateful I finally meet her. Another day I forget my travel sketchbooks on an island – I am taking the ferry the following day once again– and come back with both of them and the tote bag saying: visit Procida.
