War or Peace

War or Peace

Doves in motion, a tale they tell,
Of skies in turmoil, of heaven and hell.
A crimson backdrop, the choices unfold,
A fragile balance of stories untold.

This gouache on paper artwork employs a striking contrast between white doves and a vibrant crimson background, symbolizing the duality of conflict and harmony. The loose, expressive brushstrokes give the birds a sense of movement and vitality, while the layered textures in the background add depth and emotional tension. The composition’s minimalistic yet impactful approach aligns with symbolic and abstract expressionism, evoking reflection on the themes of war and peace.
