Marta Grossi recalled the day she first picked up her watercolor brush at the bathroom sink — it was the first week of lockdown orders in Milan, Italy, which she described as "apocalyptic."
Grossi recalled creating her first painting after returning home from the grocery store, the one place (aside from pharmacies or to seek medical care) where citygoers in Milan were allowed to go at the beginning of lockdown orders, according to local government rules at the time.
"Everything felt apocalyptic in the city. I was hearing helicopters 24/7," said Grossi. "The alarm was extreme."
"I was a bit upset coming back from my errand, and I just wanted to wash everything off," she said.
As she was washing her hands, she noticed her small watercolor tray sitting on the sink ledge, which she had used earlier in the day.
"Suddenly, I don't know what happened, but I started to paint," she said. "I started with branches and then filled in colors of a cherry blossoms. In that moment, I lost all track of time, and all my thoughts about what was going on washed away."
