Painting by Gilbert Tan

Gilbert

My friend Gilbert from Singapore (I know, it's not in Indonesia, but...) is a most remarkable person. He has gone through many difficult things but he is still a very positive person. The beautiful picture to the right is a painting he has done with his mouth! You find this painting and many more beautiful ones on his Web site, where you also can read his very touching story.
