Participating at #createbecausewecare open call was my act of support for the health care and essential workers in NYC and worldvide. The public art contest was launched by @bigscreenplaza , New York. Inspired by the movement #clapforourcarers the project was meant to give messages of support, thanks and hope on Big Screen Plaza’s 30-foot digital billboard, located at 851 Avenue of the Americas, behind Hotel Eventi,
Between 29th & 30th Street, New York, NY 10001.

I am excited as my artwork has been chosen to be a part of this project. There are two reasons for my hapiness.

First: I am absolutely grateful to all the health and essential workers saving lifes and wish my still life painting is bringing at least some sunshine to them. That is basically the reason I’ve chosen my August Bouquet painting to participate with.

Second: I am absolutely thrilled by the initiative to put art on public places, for free, but with a strong message. As bad as these Covid epidemics times might be for the art world, I still hope for some good things to emerge. I hope there might be some good lessons learned. Like giving more value to art in public places. Making art more accessibile. Making art step out of the mundane galleries, to change the daily vistas of our cities, towns. Giving it the possibility to comunicate with each of us. And to make this world a better place to live in.

Big Screen Plaza, thank you for the opportunity to show my art to citizens of your city!
