“The Zawali” [The Tunisian poor elderly¹]

“The Zawali” [The Tunisian poor elderly¹]

- I’m fond of this picture and how clear are the face features and expressions of an old man and that white beard , the wrinkles so deep and the look in the eyes3 tells a story that is very common here in Tunisia , poor old men , you can see them everywhere in the streets wearing their simple none fancy clothes , but they always wear a cheerful smile on their faces , they can wave to you and you may help them to pass the red light , this painting and these colors are a touch of reality manifested with absolute warmth , anyone can look into this drawing , touch it and feel it , because it’s a concrete level or scene that anyone can see almost everyday , there’s a sharing empathy and compassion that can be felt unconditionally , so why not we spread love and awareness to draw a smile like this one.
