ABOUT THE ARTWORK

What is history to mankind? Can we change history? Our history is filled with human saga, some extremely barbaric and cruel like world wars. Others like the deeds of heroes and leaders move us to tears for the sacrifice and courage they displayed at the right time to usher the better lives we take for granted today. Be they heroic or heinous deeds, can we actually go back and rewrite our history for the reason that they do not fit the narratives of the political mood today? We can deny the ones we don't admire and pick and choose only those that suit us now. But would that not be like selective memories? The past happened. We cannot go back to the past and undo or alter them. The best, it seems, is to know the history and learn from it. For, they say History repeats itself, IF we do not learn. The cellist plays beautiful music paying homage to the human history. For it is what it is - it bought us here today. Whether we love our mothers or have issues, we cannot undo the fact that our life came from them.

Gina Son is a Korean-American Cafe-Scene Painter based in Honolulu. A global nomad, she has lived, worked and experienced observing people and sampling the ambiance in cafes in Paris, Rome, London, Tokyo, Seoul and Santorini. Gina has always been artistically inclined since her childhood, winning awards in her early formative years (e.g. the National Artistic Gold Key award in high school). She has taken art throughout her education. Being romantic at heart, she is deeply influenced by the 19th C. Impressionism masters such as Renoir and Degas, Monet and their depictions of femeninity. As a perpetual dreamer, she endeavors to paint the beauty of human connections, shared affinity, positive and in hopeful messages of love and a life-well-lived in her paintings.
