Below the Breadline

0.0 x 0.0

How do you think, what ideas about life has a person who lives on 1$ a day and who used to eat from garbage bins? I’m serious! What are his thoughts? What does he dream about and what does he want? Have you ever wondered at least once while passing by homeless people, what is on their mind? Are they disappointed with Destiny? Do they believe in God? Do they reflect on their lives? It seems that in the hustle and bustle of daily life we often forget how lucky we are just because we have a roof over our head and food on the table. I want that every time you look at the painting «On the Breadline» you will appreciate such simple things as fresh air, clear drinking water, a roof over your head and the fact that you don’t need to spend hours on searching for food to survive. More than 1 billion people live on 1$ a day and you should be happy not to be among them! I want you to help poor people when you pass them by, sometimes they don’t need money but just a sign of attention. I’ve noticed that when you just smile at them and ask how they are doing; their mood immediately rises. They aren’t malevolent people, they are just in a difficult situation, at some moment they happened to be below the breadline. P.S. 30% of the purchase will be donated to the Fund for homeless people! The Artwork «Below the Breadline» by Natalia Marinych (70x80 cm, 27.5” x 31.4”, oil on canvas, 2017)
