If right now the country where you are living runs out electricity
š In one hour, all patients in intensive care would die
š In 15 hours, everyone would run out insuline
š In 20 hours, it would stop coming out water of the tap
š In one day, the food in the houses's fridges would start to rot
š In two days, all the babies that are in units of neonates would die
š In three days, the stored water would stop beeing potable
š From the fifth day, patients who need dialysis will die
That would be really bad right? It would be an enormous catastrophe.
Well, that's what happened in Venezuela, in some places this situation is still happening. More than 100 hours without electricity. And people is trying to survive. There have been looting, and many deaths. People started drinking water from contaminated rivers, they have been collecting contaminated water just to satiate their children's thirst. It had been a nightmare. 269 people died in 4 days...
And well, as I didn't had so much to do, so I tried to express some of my feelings and frustration drawing one of the candles that we were using in my house to illuminate the night... for me all the darkness had a meaning, had all the despair and uncertainty of the Venezuelan people. I just represented this darkness with the thoughts that I had in those moments of despair, and I think that this were part of the thoughts of all Venezuelans.
I really hope you like it, and in some way, I hope you can feel a little bit of what I felt through my art.
I want to say too that I just got sing up in @Artopium , a website where you can buy and sell your art! I would love if you take a moment to see my profile and take and look, maybe you'll find something you like , and now you can buy a print of the artwork that I just show you in this post :D
