Note du spécialiste

Fascinated by Jan Vermeer's iconic Girl with a Pearl Earring, by painting, Elias Izoli metaphorically donates a pearl earring to help refugees. In the artist's own words : 'Yes the girl is sad, not because she donated her pearl earring to help millions of refugees, but simply because not enough is being done to help them'.
(The artist quoted, 2013).
