Suddenly the world became small and we were all confronted with the same fears and uncertainties. It seemed to me that now is not the time for large-scale projects. Instead, I decided to work on a series of small paintings. During times of intense emotion, when we were desperate, I felt the need to focus on joy and positivity. These tiny prints have become my little worlds. ”
