Often we, human beings, are left alone with their problems, lack of confidence in ourselves and in the future. Sometimes we are not lucky or the tragic events completely change our life. But, fortunately, a little light of hope shines for many of us so that we notice it in the daily bustle. It helps us to choose the right road. My clown symbolizes a person who is in a difficult situation. The lantern near him is the light of hope. I work with oil colors on canvas. I use palette knives and brushes. Oil painter Elin Bogomolnik.
