master piece combines different stages of the human being and his search for peace
along the XX Century. That is why I incorporated a giant white dove bringing a
branch of bay in her beak which is identified as "Peace" that comes
from the eternal creator. This dove stands over the shoulder of a woman and then
travels to the hands of the children that happily receive her presence. The woman
represents that peace we wish to be protected as well as the children; one of
them is being hold by the woman and this child is trying to reach the flowers
that are identified as her hair, but also these flowers represent that spiritual
food and the innocence of contained in that peace. This scene is located at the
left side of the painting. Another component that I call a very important attention
is the man behind fog space which symbolizes the unacceptable senses of wars,
contamination; this is placed at the right side of the painting. A child is
dying in presence of his parents who cry as a result of wars and absence of peace.
A soldier is carrying a rifle but he is tired of fighting for nothing, a man is
trying to reach the giant dove with his hands and other humans are looking for
their protection. In conclusion, only the creator will bring that peace to humankind. |
