We are all dealing with this situation in different ways. The way I try to come to terms with what’s going on, is through my art. I’ve said many times that I really believe in the power of art to help and heal us.
We need it, as food for our soul, now more than ever.
And at a time like this, art is a way for me to express myself, to make myself heard, to release all the emotions in me, to find distraction, to escape reality, to create my own happy and safe place, and hopefully to also give other people a moment of inspiration and joy.
My recent self-portraits from my project “365 Days of Karolina” are all very much influenced by the current crisis. Every day I paint a portrait of myself and write something about my mood and thoughts that day.
I know I can’t fix the world, or change anything, but what I can do, is give you my art. And maybe it will inspire you, maybe it will help you realise that you are not alone and we all share common emotions, or maybe it will just fill up a few minutes of your day and allow you to forget about what’s going on.
I would love you to have a look at these self-portraits.
