Who Am I

Dear Dr. Barnes,
I write to you from a land you may not be familiar with, far from your homeland of Turkey. Here in Egypt I am invisible. I am a simple citizen, suppressed under the dual rule of Emperors Probus and Domitius Domitianus. I live the same life as those around me, as far as I know. I have no excitement aside from my work; my art is the only source of originality and break of routine in my daily life. As much as a wish to be able to show my art to others, it is forbidden. I hold the rare occupation of being a tomb painter, the loneliest art there is. It is forbidden for those other than the painter to see this artwork, as I am the last person to leave a tomb before it is sealed. I don't even have to do my work if I don't want to but they threaten that I will be cursed and executed if it is discovered that I slack off. 
Anyways, my reason for contacting you is in search for more wholesome purpose in life. I want to obtain an audience for my work who aren't rotting in a grave, and who can actually appreciate the creativity I can produce. I ask you for mentorship because you are a legend among the increasing art community in Egypt. Your paintings are told to be exquisite, and I seek the pleasure of viewing them and working under your wing as an apprentice. Please consider this proposition, I one day hope to be able to leave my small house with my family to move on to more fulfilling activities to fill my time.
Best Wishes,
Osiris Abasi
