Afterwards


 After dark, comes light
After silence, voices speak
After grief, enters life


~A.K~


My dedication for the grieving victims of Mentawai - Merapi disasters. 
Hope and faith, always.
All images are available at my shop, where you can still reach out and help donate for them.

Again, my warmest gratitude for all friends who have bought my original black and white drawings. Your generous donations are deeply appreciated.


My best,
Amalia oxox

  8. Well to comment on the beauty of these works seems innane compared to what has happened...

    But may I?

    The top one effects me the most. It has that resonance, emotion and determination that we feel is in your own character.

    A worthy self portrait.

    Who said we spend our entire life painting ourselves?

  9. I wonder; are these real people you've based them on... are they you? Or, as well, I could see them as inventions to get your point(s) across.
    Intriguing.

  10. I like the whole series - both coloured and in black & white. I like these girls with beautiful, sad eyes, having seen dreadful sights, with their souls hurt, but strong and firm. My favourite is the first one.
    Dear Amalia, I hope everything with you, your family, relatives and friends is O.K. I wish your country will never go through such a tragedy again!
    I admire what you did - you, the Artist! Kisses!

  13. And after the black and white, comes the color. Equally as beautiful and poignant.

    Humanity and charity are the silver lining to such disasters. My heart sinks when I read about the victims in Indonesia and Haiti.

    How are you, dear Amalia? I hope you are well.
    xoxo
