People paint for different reasons. Some do it for fame. Some for wealth. Some for fun. Some to become immortal. Some as a mission. Or any other right reason. But good for those who have made a shelter out of art so that their soul could dig a tunnel from this bright and vibrant solitude to that promised territory in which human is poppy and poppy is human. Good for Jaleh Malek.
