The reason I am painting...


The night before Thanksgiving 2007 while riding my motorcycle a car cut my way, hit me and took off. This person left me on the floor with a bad broken leg that required a 4 hrs surgery for the placement of an external fixator which I am still wearing. Never ever before had a surgery nor a broken bone and knew that during hard times I had to be stronger than any other time...

Got no family in the U.S.but thank God beatiful people been around me all the time keeping me up and going on. It was hard , did cry and felt down many times but sooner or later found a reason to stand up again.

I have no complain to God about my accident because I have never ever did so while he gave me so many beautiful times... so why should I do it know? Life is full of ups and downs and we learn more during tough times... It's been already 5 months and still disabled but hoping to go back soon to normal life!

During this period of my life I began painting...I am not a painter, I am an used to be poet/writer but this accident made me find freedom and emotion doing something different like painting.

I have never asked God for an easy life, I have just asked Him to give me the right weapons needed to fight and face any challenge He believes I need to overcome for learning something in the classroom of this life.

Sorry If my paintings are not good enough, I am not a painter, I am just a FIGHTER...
