80 x 60 cm, painted in 2024, oil on cardboard.

The painting is created out of gratitude for having such great friends, family and an overall support network for whatever life stage the artist experiences. 

M.Virsis writes about the painting: “How much can one person do on their own? How easy is it to face eternity without support? The painting is a tribute to friendship. Almost anyone can attest – when everything feels too much, almost nothing is as soothing as the advice of a friend and a common memory of the more beautiful days, like an understanding touch on the shoulder. “We know how you feel; we are together with you.” “

Painting has been featured in the travelling exhibition “Fragments of Imagination” in:
