George Saj

George Saj is a general surgeon with forty-four years of practice behind him. He has a lifelong interest in art and is now working in assemblages of painted wood. 
About the artwork:

Caught in the moment after the thorn
was removed and he is overcome with a
feeling of euphoira and bliss
at the dissipation of pain…
eyes unfocused…
mind adrift in a benign state of well-being.
