For those of you who might not have seen this in progress, just a little background.
Marius was held as a political prisoner in Romania for 6 years after his parents escaped to Paris and eventually the states. I have known his parents since they arrived here, so this has been especially gratifying for me to paint.
His grandfather was held in "camps" and did not get the chance to leave before his death. His grandmother visits often and is free to come and go now. She and her husband lost their rather large estate, but she is in the process of appealing to the courts to get her property and valuables back.
Marius carries the world
