AN ALLEGORY TO LIFE AND FRIENDSHIP
I am fortunate. Life has given me friendship, and friendship has given me life.
I have had the opportunity to have life in order to love and cry, to stumble and get up, to learn and teach, to share and receive, to seek and find. All this through the support of my loved ones; each one of them, in a different fashion, has given me guidance and thrust to go through the different stages in my life.

Today, I am in another stage of my life. Full of challenges, of accomplishments, of setbacks, of falls, of satisfactions, of achievements. Immersed among brushes, paper, canvases and colors, using them as tools, I keep searching for the allegory to life and friendship.

Maybe I will not find it …, but the sole fact of walking towards it fills me up with joy. I invite you to find, through my watercolors, your own personal allegory, and to walk to find life and friendship.
