“BEST SELLER”
2021 - 100x80 - digital painting on canvas
Imagine a European pharmacy in the '50s, proud to offer Thalomid, a famous drug whose
active ingredient was thalidomide. It cured nausea, it was a good sedative, recommended
especially to pregnant women. Only Frances Kelsey, an American pharmacologist,
understood that something was wrong. Too late. 10.000 children suffered irreparable
malformations, and heart and brain anomalies. Now it is only prescribed for multiple
myeloma. We hope for the best.
