I was invited to submit a work to be associated with the March/April 2021 issue of the "Art International Contemporary Magazine", which celebrated the 700th anniversary of the death of the great Italian poet Dante Alighieri and the artists of the past who portrayed him. A prize was awarded to participants by Drs Francesco Saverio Russo and Salvatore Russo. The work I submitted was my Self Portrait in Lockdown (2020), and was described by Salvatore Russo as “truly extraordinary”.
