To all Americans that risked their lives to save others. Thank
you to come to Europe and Belgium to liberate my country and my Grandfather who
was imprisoned in a concentration camp, because he was also fighting for
freedom and liberty!
The poppies were symbol of the sacrifice of the soldiers during World War1. Each poppy carried the blood of a death soldier. A poppy lives only one day and so its beauty became symbol for the sacrifice of the soldiers during the war. My poppy paintings were sold in the Museum of Ieper.

I am not for wars (who is?)and I always fought them as a
punk when I was 15 and when I was older.
I am a pacifist and a freedom fighter just like my Grand pa.
Now I don’t use my punky clothes , nor I have my hair straight up to show people it is not ok to fight,
or it is not ok to believe in fascism…
Now my brush is my weapon.
I don’t paint the end of wars, but I paint the beginning of PEACE.
I don’t fight against racism, but I paint UNION.
I don’t shout against fascism, but I paint FREEDOM.
I don’t wallow in complaints, but I paint GRATITUDE.
I don’t judge, but I paint APPRECIATION.
I don’t hate, but I paint LOVE.
I don’t say I can’t, but I paint I CAN.
I don’t doubt, but I paint I BELIEVE.
I don’t………………., but I paint I DO.
and I WILL…
PROMISE to paint TO PAINT because I LOVE IT.

I know I can change the world with my intentional paintings….
Poppies become abundant flowers that symbolize the intensity of being alive.
I don’t fight, but I paint I LIVE!
Intensely, wild and as ME!

I promise to end the war in me more and more so my paintings become more radiant to serve you all.
Love you all,
Thank you for liberating my family so I could grow up and
speak Dutch and Flemish.
I could learn French and English and I didn’t have to speak German!
I could travel to England, Spain, France, Turkye, Italy,…, Peru, The United states,…
I could talk to Jewish people and dance with the gypsy.
I was ok to be gay, to be hetero sexual or both.

I WAS BORN FREE!
And every day I get to be born free …
over and over again…
when I liberate myself from my imprisoned thoughts!
I am free to be me!

NOW i have the choice to stop the war inside of me and so
I stop exporting my authority to wars outside of me.
(still practicing :))
Jichaa!
Love Tamara,
