Rita Hisar, La Dolce Vita - This Painting was created in March 2020, during the beginning of the Pandemic, when everyone was feeling especially helpless against this unknown Beast. As an Italian-Canadian Artist, I watched Italy suffer tremendously in the news and I heard first hand reports from relatives and friends. It was devastating. I wanted to remind everyone that even with COVID- Italy was still Italy- with its great Culture, History, Energy, and of course, Art. Our past makes us stronger, sustains us during these unknown times.
I decided to help the people of Italy who were suffering the most by donating any sales from La Dolce Vita products I posted on Fine Art America to Roma Cares, a charity which helped COVID patients. 64
