The idea for the second collection, Poetry of Joy, has occurred in a very different time – in the late winter of the second year of Covid-19 pandemics, when moral was low and we faced exhaustion and despair. We wanted to add colour to our lives: vivid colours that would re-energise and support us. The works created by painter Mitja Ficko, express such intense joy of life, a joy as a source of energy and a reflection of internal balance.
