About The Artwork

On the 29th April 2020 Covid 19 year Fire Destroyed my home totally I was left with only the clothes on my back and my bicycle. I went on the road to buy parts for my bicycle and I got one of the worst call ever that my home was on fire. It was a great Shock for me by the time I reached home/what was my home it was totally destroyed. The fire truck was also late. I lost over 100 paintings drawings not included, I lost a Very Rare Stamps Collection, Coin Collection, 25 wood carvings lots of Antique items and some Very Rare Collectibles, RARE BOOKS SO MANY ITEMS REMEMBERING THEM BRINGS ME GRIEF. I HAVE GOTTEN OVER IT A BIT BUT I KNOW IT'S GOING TO TAKE YEAR'S TO PICK UP BECAUSE I AM HAVING THINGS HARD NOW. BUT I AM FREE FROM THE BURDEN OF THESE THINGS, NEVER GET ATTACHED TO ANYTHING IT BRINGS SUFFERING. SO I AM NOW LIBERATED, I am living a simple life trying to take things as they come. So the Fire which destroyed Inspired me to create this painting. My home was not insured and the fire was cause by electrical problems in my nebour room. I have gotten no help from anyone, pur promises up to now no help. But I am alive
