I won third place in Nationaal Atelier’s art competition themed “Light” with my work “When all the light has gone”!
Sometimes it feels like all the light has gone out of the world and there is only darkness. Dark trees with sharp branches surround me and bad thoughts shoot through my head like black lightning bolts. I express myself in my drawing and then…
…Then my cat Diva comes to me and despite everything a smile appears on my face. I look at her through the tears. I pet her and she begins to purr. She brings me a little bit of light again. That’s how she appears in this drawing. A small beacon of light, a glimmer of hope. And she purrs in my mind as well.
