ART FOR GAZA AUCTION

Dominated by a striking red sky with blue and white abstracted figures and faces in the foreground.

Blue River Under a Red Sky

The dramatic contrast between the fiery sky and dark blue and white below creates a striking visual impact, symbolizing the juxtaposition of hope and hardship, light and darkness. Inspired by the concept of the collective unconscious, this artwork delves into the enduring legacy of generational trauma – from forced migration to famine, war, and homelessness – all of which leave their indelible mark on the human experience. Yet, amidst the turmoil, there's a glimmer of hope. In some cultures, the red sky is seen as a promise of a new and better day, a beacon of light guiding us towards a brighter future.


UNVEILING BLUE RIVER UNDER RED SKY

Dear art enthusiasts and supporters,

I am thrilled to share with you a new addition to my body of work — Blue River Under Red Sky. I am honored to announce that this artwork will be featured in the upcoming Art for Gaza Auction at the end of this month.

Blue River Under Red Sky is a testament to the power of art to convey emotions and tell stories that transcend borders. As an artist, I believe in the ability of creative expression to bring people together and ignite meaningful conversations.

We have an opportunity to leverage the transformative power of art for a humanitarian cause. The auction serves as a platform to raise awareness and support for the people in Gaza, who continue to face challenges that demand our collective attention and assistance.

I invite you to join me on this journey by participating in the Art for Gaza Auction. Your involvement not only adds value to the world of art but also contributes to the well-being of those who need it most. Together, we can make a difference through the universal language of creativity.
