Human Suffering Series

Art on War Photographs, a profound exploration of children affected by war and the cyclical nature of historical conflict.

Awakening Conscience
Through Art

In the HUMAN SUFFERING SERIES, I confront one of history's most tragic constants: the suffering of children in war. This body of work aims to bridge past and present, using real photographs from actual wars as a foundational medium.

My process involves painting directly onto these historical images, creating a visceral fusion of documented reality and artistic intervention. This technique is a deliberate act of remembrance and a urgent warning, highlighting how the lessons of past horrors remain unlearned in our 21st-century world.

The ultimate goal of this series is to awaken conscience and spark a dialogue on empathy, memory, and our collective responsibility to forge a different future.
