Due to current events and topicality, I decided this time for a more serious topic. It is in no way intended to glorify violence, but simply to point out the grievances that arise from wars all over the world. Senseless killing based on old territorial claims, religious beliefs and fanaticism or simply from obsession with power,Money greed and ego driven. That is of course only my opinion but I felt that I had to do that. The approach was to paint a colorful sky to place contrasting silhouettes on it. I then decided on a black background in order not to ignore the gloom of the war and to dampen the colors a bit. That the sky looks a bit like my national colors is pure coincidence. The templates of the silhouettes are edited with Corel and cut with the Cricut. I think that this painting can certainly polarize but it was close to my heart. In some places, the image is still strongly reflected is due to the liquid clear.Now it's up to you to decide if you like it.

The third picture below has slight modifications and much more drying time!
A powerful use of your artistic talent! Very effective colors and textures.
Very excellent scene and it does depict the senselessness of most wars!

Well said, its a shame you have to explain but that's the world we live in now. I love your painting for all the right reasons. Those colours are on fire which brings a sense of turmoil to the scene. Captivating.
