Oil on Two Canvases
16” x 44”
War and Peace is visual dialogue between tension and release - two opposing forces locked in balance. On one canvas, fiery reds surge forward, shaped into bold, angular figures that feel like warriors mid-charge. Their movements are sharp, intense, driven by purpose and pressure. On the other, swirls of orange flow more gently, their forms dancing rather than fighting. These figures, though equally strong, carry warmth instead of heat - they are warriors of spirit rather than battle. Each canvas speaks its own language, but neither exists in isolation. Their simplicity is deceptive; though abstracted and stylized, each figure holds depth - identity, intention, and emotion. Together, the two panels express a truth that is both artistic and human: peace is not the absence of war, and war is not without its longing for peace. They are entangled, essential, and inseparable - like breath and heartbeat, like body and soul.
