Hey everyone,

Hello art enthusiasts and friends,

I am excited to share some great news! My painting has been selected as one of the top 5 pieces in the prestigious IWS Sogol Art Cafe Gallery “Nostalgia” international online watercolor exhibition.

This recognition is truly an honor, especially considering the exceptional talent and diverse submissions from artists around the world. The theme of ‘Nostalgia’ provided a unique opportunity to explore and capture moments that evoke a sense of fond remembrance.

The painting, “Bedtime Stories,” features my two daughters during their younger years, enjoying reading Bible adventures while lying together in their bed. It’s a celebration of cherished memories and the emotional resonance that ‘nostalgia’ carries with it.

Being part of the top 5 is not just a personal achievement but also a testament to the power of art in conveying emotions and connecting people across cultures. I want to express my gratitude to the International Watercolor Society (IWS), Sogol Art Cafe Gallery, and the esteemed jury for this recognition.

The virtual exhibition platform has allowed art lovers from different corners of the globe to come together and appreciate the beauty of watercolor art. I encourage you to explore the entire exhibition and discover the incredible works that form part of this international showcase.

Thank you for your support, and I hope you find a moment of nostalgia in the art that resonates with you.

Maria
