Saint Expeditus, I ask you with this humble retablo to end this coronavirus pandemic because I miss my secretary Lucy. I cannot see her because of the quarantine, and I’m very desperate being locked in the house with my wife 24 hours a day. If it lasts any longer I’ll go insane.

I thank Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker for helping me to go to the “Globus” store without being caught by the police.

With this humble retablo I want to thank my patron saint for not letting me get the coronavirus so I could keep on breathing well and everything.

Thank you, Holy Virgin, for helping me. I dedicate you this retablo for letting me discover that my graphic design skills are useful, although the economy is collapsed.

I thank the saints for this filthy coronavirus didn’t mutate nor did it convert us all in zombies.

With this retablo, I thank the Lord for saving us from the economic crisis and from the coronavirus who wanted us all to lose our mind.

I dedicate this retablo to the saints for letting me pay out my debts even after the coronavirus and the crisis.

Infinite thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe. Thanks for inspiring me to paint these days of war against the melancholy because of COVID-19.

Always grateful, Olga, 2020

I love dancing Argentinian tango and practiced very hard for a tango competition. At the same time I have a stage fright during competitions. I thank Saint Nicholas with this retablo that I had a very talented tang partner to practice for a few months, my tango skills improved and the competition got canceled.

I give thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe for taking care of my family and for giving us strength to keep painting. I pray to her to take care and guide my loved ones, my friends and those who need it the most, so that we could make it safe and sound through this COVID-19 pandemic. Amen.

My family and I are asking Saint Jude Thaddeus to stop this pandemic, and thanks to Saint Jude we don’t have COVID-19 coronavirus.

Holy Trinity! Divine Providence! I humbly ask you, with this retablo, to find the cure for the COVID-19 and therefore stop this terrible pandemic that affected the entire world. I ask you for health to all the people sick with this virus and for eternal peace to those who died.
