Year Completed: 2023

Technical: Mixed Media in Acrylic on Canvas

Inspired by Magritte, I haven't tried to see what's behind the visible, but I've drawn from it to represent the children of man today. The children of man today? Engulfed by technology in general (unfortunately, military technology advances faster), constantly seeking something better without considering the world that begs to breathe anew. And while people, amid cell phones, smart weapons, TV shows, etc., live their lives day by day, the universe calls for change, prays to have it. But we are too preoccupied with other things to hear it. The icons painted on the canvas, which become Magritte's work, depict a man using a VR headset, and the stencil representation of Anonymous serves both as their support and to represent the unknown character behind it all.
