AFTER THE PLAGUE ~ ART REBORN
Illuminating Shadows: The Renaissance of Art after the Plague
As we emerge from the pandemic, it's the perfect time to reflect on the past and look forward to a brighter future. Through the lens of art, my book celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of creativity. While I may not be an art history expert, I share your enthusiasm for art and have endeavored to assemble a concise book that we can relish and learn from in our leisure time.
On a Personal note, As some of you know, I have poor vision. and I’ve always found it fascinating how an artist's creations are sometimes influenced by their lack of prescription glasses. They paint the world as they see it and sometimes that’s through Cataracts, Glaucoma, Color Blindness or very myopic eyes.
Perhaps subconsciously, I feel compelled to share that poor vision should never be seen
as a disability. On the contrary, it can open up new dimensions and
ways of experiencing the world.
I invite you to enjoy the journey..
