War & Peace
Oil and Acrylic Paint on Canvas
90cm x 120cm
War & Peace is a striking contemporary painting that contrasts the chaos of conflict with the serenity of peace. A young soldier lies among a bed of vivid flowers, his expression calm and dreamlike — a symbol of vulnerability, hope, and the human cost of war. His weapon, painted with graffiti-like markings of love and protest, becomes an artifact of contradiction — destruction turned into art.
Inspired by the counterculture demonstrations of the 1960s and the vibrant aesthetic of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, this painting reimagines anti-war sentiment for the modern era. Through expressive color, detailed realism, and surreal symbolism, War & Peace invites reflection on compassion, resistance, and the enduring call for harmony in turbulent times.
This original artwork is hand-painted using professional-grade oil and acrylic paints on stretched canvas. It is ready to hang and signed by the artist.
