RE: Landscape (acrylic)
My friend… I felt sad reading about your situation 😔
It must be really hard to get art supplies in your country, with all these challenges—truly painful. Despite everything, your persistence in painting and creativity is truly admirable ❤️.
Is there not even a single store that sells paints for repainting house walls?
The internet arrived relatively recently in my country. Little was known about it outside the country. Not everyone has internet access, not even a joke. Internet access is paid for by the hour, the most expensive in the world, and the slowest (1 megabyte of bandwidth). Almost everything moves in the informal market. And art isn't even remotely something that interests most people who can travel abroad and bring something back. You put up an ad for something, and you might find someone selling one or three colors, or a paintbrush. There isn't a single store in my entire province that sells those items. Nor in all of Cuba, in everything I've researched. It's a black market.
Honestly, I can’t imagine myself in your place… 😔
It must be really hard to keep creating under such conditions.
But your dedication is truly inspiring — it shows how strong your passion for art is.
Please keep going, your work carries a light that many people need. ❤️
