Art in the days of the coronavirus "I'm adapting" # 1
The artist that I am right now: I'm adapting.
Because everyday life changes. I have a temporary job in a food store and three children at home. I adapt because I feel these movements of energy and I try to stay centered, not to be overwhelmed by fear, worry or panic.
I adapt because no, I have not yet had the time to lock myself up for several hours in my studio and keep going on one of the many paintings that have been going on for a while.
I adapt because at this moment when the world seems to hold its breath it's important to slow down and look at the sun and the earth, to the animals around us who are happy that we are present more than before.
I adapt because the world had to change, and this is perhaps the first wave.
I adapt because an artist cannot really force or pretend anything.
The images will arrive, and the time to make them will be different.
I adapt because my path is always there and yours is too
Gioia
