Call Me - Elena Vylusk

“In this painting, a small bird sits on a vintage phone as one of us lives in anticipation of a call: from a loved one, from a son, from parents,” says the artist Lena Vylusk. “Do we need to communicate? Is it just for fun or is it a necessity?” 
“I wanted to show how important it is to keep in touch with people. Often we are too busy to call loved ones and that’s a problem as old as this vintage phone. When I painted this piece I felt incredibly sad thinking about how many people in the world are lonely, with no one to speak to on the phone.”
