Painting Overview

Some people are terrified of pain. For example me. But even I wouldn’t skate like that. I’d rather not skate at all. He would have tied a pillow on his head.

The picture is painted with excellent oil paints on a high-quality canvas by me personally. Without the use of any digital technology. Everything is extremely traditional.

So or so the children learn to skate. And they always learned like that. I strongly advocate that everyone should have a pillow tied to the butt. And this applies not only to skating or other sports. I’m in favor of having such a pillow with each of us all my life. Whenever we start something new, unknown, it can be risky.

This artwork has also a different name: Project “Winter Tales” IV

I put in my pictures everything beautiful and kind that is inside me. Each my picture carries a charge of optimism and positive. Getting a picture, you help not only the artist, but also to yourself.

People say: Roberto Christiano

The New Verse News
presents politically progressive poetry on current events and topical issues

I have heard the sirens falling
falling like the songs of sorrow
I have seen the black man hobbled
hobbled by the blues of bullets
I have smelt the forests burning
burning till the ashes whiten

I have seen the mermaids leaving
leaving as our rivers rumble
I have heard the children crying
crying with our cupboards empty
I have smelt the fear of winter
winter with the sirens calling
