During Trump’s presidency marked by lies and alternate universe ‘truths, ’ many Americans embraced dangerous conspiratorial beliefs, from QAnon, distrust of news media, science and vaccines to coronavirus denial. And just like the contagious coronavirus spread through the world, these conspiratorial infectious ideas spread to other countries in the world, causing intellectual havoc wherever they took roots and poisoning people’s minds. Dissuading people who fell under the spell of conspiracy theories is almost impossible.
Misinformation is thriving during pandemic-induced self-isolation and is enabled by unregulated social media platforms, mainly Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
On this fixed ‘diet’ of misinformation grew a digitally oriented network of people who replaced real-life relationships and experiences with digital screens. Often hidden behind false identities, they continue to spread lies, conspiracies, and misinformation between themselves without ever fat checking their findings and theories. Because of this, we have a sixth corona wave and live through the second year of the pandemic. People under the paranoid spell of conspiracies are pushing back against rules and procedures that would help us stop and end the pandemic. The more the virus jumps from host to host, the more it mutates and spikes its contagiousness. I hope that it will not become deadlier.

I was born in Eastern Europe, in a beautiful coastal city in Croatia, where I lived my first 33 years.For as long as I remember, I wanted to be an artist. To become one, I needed to beat the various odds and remove obstacles thrown my way, and there were many. My parents thought that a life of an artist was too arduous and offered a slim possibility of success, even more for a woman. They vehemently disagreed when I proposed studying art and pursuing an artistic career. Instead, to the Academy of Art, they sent me to the Classical gymnasium and hoped I would study Law afterwards. I rebelled. I wouldn't study, and my grades were terrible.
My father couldn't take the embarrassment, so he made me drop out of school. The same year he divorced my mother, and she ended up in a mental institution. She was bipolar and suffered from mania and depression her entire life. Any time she would go through stressful periods, she would land in a psychiatric hospital. Her mental illness and my father's abandonment and disinterest marked my life.
I never received support or encouragement to pursue my artistic goals, and I fought tooth and nail for my right to do what I felt was my calling.
I emigrated to Italy in 1989, two years before the horrendous civil war shook my country.In 1995 I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and had surgery and radiation. The surgery and radiation helped, but I wouldn't have survived without art. I started painting on glass, copying readymade patterns, convinced I had lost my artistic talent. Slowly, slowly I built my skills back and started to create my own art.
In 2009 at the age of 50, I emigrated to Canada. In 2013 I graduated with honours from the Fine Arts Faculty in Toronto, finally calling myself an artist. Although I was one all the while, now, I had 'a proof.'
My art is my sweet OCD, and I can't live without it. My art is also my antidepressant. It lifts me up when I am feeling down. Luckily, I have stopped listening to the voices from my childhood that told me I would never succeed. What is a success after all? Art makes me happy, and it makes people that like it happy, and that is all that counts.
I love exploring. I painted on wood, glass, paper, leather, and canvas and recently decided to explore the world of digital art. The more I do art, the more I become brave in my artistic adventures, and I love this feeling. I paint with a full-on feeling, and nothing holds me back anymore. Unafraid, I adventure into new mediums and exploration of new themes.
