Hope x Patience x Strength

I painted this piece about 4 years into the Syrian War, I wanted to create something that was both vibrant and somber - and shows both pain and hope. Using a wide variety of colours and highly saturated tones in order to emphasize a personal impression rather than a realistic representation, also the strong colours reflect vibrancy and resilience. This painting is focused on Syria with mainly Syrian towns and cities written in graffiti style in the background. Although in a smaller text you can see other Arab cities and town written as well - to underline that this is a common experience and common sentiment to many vulnerable people are/will face, with the main difference being WHEN they face it.
