The artist feels constrained in the circumstances of isolation, wants to be recognized, and tries to sell, to show his works. He will make sure, that his art does not become forgotten and disposable, like withered greenery at the end of an unsuccessful market day. But if people, concerned by their problems don't care or have time for his art, can the joy of painting itself bring enough satisfaction? Or is external validation and support an essential part of the creative process?
