Abstract art? Really? Well…

I painted the above and then photographed it and “dealt” with it digitally to convert it into an NFT (Non-Fungible-Token). I call it the “Bluester”, because there is a blue rooster in the painting…

So, is it abstract? Being that most of the painting is created with the pure power of colour, I would say yes it is.

As you might know, we re-locate during the summer to our place on the Aegean Sea, somewhere travelling between Greece and Türkiye. I personally feel very much at home on either side of this phenomenal sea. And since time here requires lots of work, I comply… Never stop searching as the more you search the

A teacher, not a prophet. A man… Not a wounded, bleeding victim on a cross. The man who walked the earth and saved the nations, who walked upon the waters. The one who spoke the truth against the dogmas of religion, who called to him the poor, the oppressed, the workers, the ones many despised,
