	About Rinia	>>
I didn’t have a clue to where I was going. I was feeling lost between unlimited possibilities and I thought I should grab myself from love. I lost myself, I went through deserts wondering where the “one”, the “it” is. And I felt so lost. I prayed and then I prayed again and again. And I felt betrayed by God, by me. I saw a tiny little light. I thought I should stick to it since it was the only bright thing around me in any case. The light “surprisingly” became warmer, larger and now I feel as the “day” is here, the “day” that I just met myself. I don’t really know what I feel, what I want, what I am, what defines me, but I know that I am here, and guess what… I am not the only one. And among us, there is a green fish and a pink fish and they feel too! And they live so simple, they do the only thing they just know, and that is to swim, and I do the one thing that I just know and that is to love and feel, and my way of expressing it is by painting. And I have to thank the fish for being itself.
