Description
These days a furious wind blew from the north and the bamboo in the garden gently bent, bent once more and bent again and again. When the storm was over, the bamboo sprung back, and stood there in its full grace with quietude.
The bamboo represents wisdom and humility, to bend but not to break when adversities come.
And with this symbolism in mind I have painted this Gentle Bending Bamboo, dedicated to my second motherland Catalunya, Catalonia, who under the fierce repression of the Spanish are peacefully and with integrity fighting for their independence, for the preservation of human and democratic rights in Europe.
