RE: $63 Steem Dollars to Cuban Artist on Steemit

I love that painting!

@almaguer is an artist from Cuba. He cannot always reply because for the biggest part of the day they are out of electricity not to mention the lack of water, food and and and.

He is a very active member, a writer, and taught himself how to paint (a wish he had and I helped to realize by sending the materials before everything closed down).

If it comes to the gov and the end of the empire it looks like the entire world is dragged down. 😕

I have received reply from @almaguer, and am glad.
I remember the face, we have commented to each other before:) Amazing writer.
Thanks for helping:)

First, thank you for your help. Art should be one of the bridges that humanizes us and unites us. I've already received the SBD. I suppose the universe always tries to provide us with friends and like-minded people who use art as a form of response, as a weapon to open minds and hearts.

Thank you, because those who know the gentle hands of the muses know how reluctant they sometimes are to assist us.

Yes, I know your work, and we've exchanged words in the recent past.

WOW. An artist has this ability; they must use the available means and let the art flow onto paper, stone, dreams. Many don't value the infinite possibilities within their reach; things like having electricity, clean water. Painting in my country is a huge challenge; there are no stores where you can buy anything related to art, you use the black market, it's extremely expensive. A small 22ml pot of low-quality acrylic paint can cost a minimum wage.

So I try not to dwell on the difficulties; I try to create, to give color to life.

Thank you again.
