The painting titled 'Two Metres Apart' drew inspiration from the diverse experiences that shaped my perception during the 2020 lockdown. Evocative music lyrics and melodies intertwined with memories, evoking deep emotions. Netflix series provided solace and contemplation. The poignant image of socially distanced strangers engaged in conversations became the central theme. Virtual connectivity through video calls and the nostalgic rediscovery of long-forgotten party bottles crafted into unique libations found expression. The surge in online shopping and the bittersweet excitement of doorstep deliveries added a distinctive essence to the artwork. Amidst these experiences, I pursued knowledge by relearning French and mastering the recorder, imparting wisdom to an eager 8-year-old at home. However, the somber undertone of rising death counts served as a poignant reminder of life's fragility. 'Two Metres Apart' stood as a vibrant testament to the profound impact of contemporary life during the lockdown.
