Hello, everyone!

 

It’s Friday night, and I’m unwinding with a few thoughts before I return to painting for a few more hours tonight. My dedication to painting is unwavering, with a regimented schedule filling my days and evenings. I paint a lot and write in between as well. I get asked why always, and well, it’s the same answer: life is short on time, and who knows where it goes, but for me, I’m exactly where I should be, passionately devoted to mastering my craft and creating the body of work I have planned for years. This work, which I envision as a vast book, will be a collection of my life experiences and reflections expressed through my art.

As I continue to paint, I hold onto the hope that I can paint long into my older years and accomplish my dreams. This hope and belief in the future fuels my passion and inspires me to create.

As the winter months show themselves, my walks are getting colder. Yet, Mother Nature’s changing landscape each day is a source of endless wonder. The snow tumbles softly onto my eyelashes, a gentle reminder of the beauty surrounding us. These moments, where I feel fortunate to be part of this beautiful world with so much to offer, are the ones I cherish the most.

You have seen and will see a lot of support from Art Queens Gallery lately, which is lovely. I will be in their “Art HerStory” magazine at the end of the month, so stay tuned. My parents would have been so proud of me, especially from their hometown, missing them dearly.

I have just released a playful work-in-progress reel about my painting titled “The Journey,” and I have worked tirelessly to reach the point where I can start adding all the characters that make this painting unique to me. Our lives are very different, and we all have stories to share—some of which are private. The world I paint is universal, filled with pain, suffering, and all the sacrifices we make. I hope this painting resonates with themes of love and loss in a way that highlights how different we are, yet we are all part of a larger, shared narrative. My art reflects our shared experiences, and I hope it resonates with you.

As this week winds down, I hope all of you have a great weekend filled with much love and peace. As the holiday gets closer, I know gathering around our loved ones is always special. Stay safe, and once again, I want to express my gratitude for your unwavering support in my journey of love and loss. Your support means the world to me.

Life’s journey,
– Gio
