Since I was a child I have always loved painting anything I could get my hands on. When my mother gave my twin sister and me the approval to paint our bedroom for the first time, we didn’t just paint the walls green, violet, yellow and orange, we also painted the beds, tables, chairs and all the accessories. Then we continued with other parts of the house, until my mom decided it wasn’t a good idea to paint the entire house in bright colors since we were renting.
But our friends loved it, and asked for help painting their rooms, and we were always painting and doing all kind of crafts.
Art for me has always been a way to channel my feelings, to express what I can’t express with words, to admire what surrounds me, to explore, to learn that you can learn everything, and that we are all artists in our own way.
Art should be a right, not just the right to express ourselves through it, but the right to have it and buy it. Unfortunately, art on our walls has become a luxury. These days in our society everything that is good for us has become more expensive. Shouldn’t it be the opposite?
