Lot 231:
The year 2020 is one of the most difficult years as COVID-19, suddenly froze our creative act and numbed almost every aspect of our normal life as we know off. As an artist, my humble mind was wondering how to put these into my creativity and began some painting to explore my inner self. This painting titled "Blue, Black & White" is a metaphor for what I have experienced myself and around me. It reflects the emotions, sorrow, pain, and the unknown reality of what we become.
