I got a pleasant surprise after the Friouato Biennial n Taza, Morocco. I was one of the ten artist who received a Golden Honorable Mention.
I feel honored. This year has really been a year of surprises, exhibitions and awards.
Margareth Osju
Artist / Poet / Photoartist/Illustrator/Amatourphotographer
My name is Margareth Osju and I am an artist. I was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1962. I came to Sweden as a refugee. from Chile, along with my parents and siblings year 1973.
I am a poet and an autodidact painter/illustrator and between different kind of artistic projects I am illustrating the poems from some manuscripts I have written for some years ago. Mostly of my illustrations, paintings and photos belongs to different poems.
There is a reason why my artworks can differ so drastically from each other but it has with I am a versatile poet. I write not only about life and death and hope and longing, I also write tributes to nature, to life’s journeys, to our inner awakening. And yes, I write for kids too, (still a manuscript) and I illustrate others poets poems too.
Each creation is a poem, a message, a incident , a hidden memory, a naked sense, a look, a piece of history, an ask of hope and somE illustrations are sketches to the unwritten poems. In war and in Freedom, in Peace and Reflections. They are journeys of the past, the present and the redness of the future.

You live deep in me

.
Steadfast is your Love
Through the oceans it survives
The turbulent floods
.
A Knight knows valour
Courage is his dominion
Love his only scope
.
Bear in soul our flag
Distant volcano’s thunder
It spells my Love. Hark!
.
Jesters may hop, dance
Their sight mere entertainment
Their presence confined
.
Only your pure Heart
Can feed to me the solace
That my Heart thirsts for
.
My arrow strikes straight
Cupid arms my Heart’s eyesight
With whispers of you
.
This bond outlives Time
Though I may not see your Face
You live deep in me
