Quid est veritas

‘‘Quid est veritas’’ What is truth?
Oil painting and mixed media on canvas - 60 x 100 cm - 2011

What really matters to us in this life? Did you ever ask this question to yourselves? We all have difficulties to find the right answer of this simple question, don't we? In this painting, the latin proverb says "Quid est veritas" (What is the truth?). Hopefully at some point in our lives, we can find the answer. Maybe we all know the answer or there is no answer at all...

Rarum est Carum

Rare things are valuable is the meaning of this anonimous Latin saying. It's true that not all of us can get some precious things in this world. But we can not take them with us when we die neighter. If you worked hard and earned your money enjoy it now! Don't be greedy share it and make yourself and others happy! Because life is too short for little games.
