Hey everyone! I hope you are doing well! During this pandemic time it’s hard to travel and many places are closed (museums, galleries etc.). I couldn’t (and still can’t) travel so much and so I can’t take/post so many new pictures here or on Instagram. I’m also very busy withy doctoral thesis Please be patient I try to post high quality sacral art pics. I have many pics from my latest trips to post, but I hope I will visit new beautiful places in the future. Take care
