GENOCIDE IS IN THE BLOOD
"Genocide Is In The Blood" is my latest digital series and it stands at 24"x30". Using Photoshop, an Apple Pencil, and Procreate, I have tried to crafted a poignant statement through vibrant and intense visual storytelling.
This artwork vividly portrays a powerful and dramatic scene. At the bottom center, you see a figure with closed eyes, bearing an expression of serene concentration. Embracing a cinematic crescendo, tree-like branches emerge from the figure's head, symbolizing a profound connection between humanity and nature. Ascending from above, a brilliant white lightning bolt descends to meet these branches, bridging earth and sky in a breathtaking visual symphony. The background explodes with dynamic hues of deep reds, oranges, purples, and blues, immersing you in an aura of intense energy and otherworldly transformation.
The inspiration behind "Genocide Is In The Blood" stems from a heartfelt response to the alarming political shifts happening worldwide. The rise of extreme right-wing ideologies and the embracement of fascism and genocide have historical wreaked havoc, leading to wars and the loss of millions of lives. The recent horrific events in Gaza, with countless innocent lives, particularly women and children, being needlessly lost, have spotlighted our growing desensitization to bloodshed. This artwork serves as a clarion call, a stirring reminder of the necessity to reclaim our humanity amidst these dark times.
Creating this digital painting was a unique journey. It pushed the boundaries of my creativity through the digital medium, allowing for a seamless flow of imagination and emotion. Through the synthesis of advanced digital tools, I could bring forth this vivid, evocative composition that speaks to the soul and stirs the conscience.
With "Genocide Is In The Blood," I aim to inspire reflection and action. May it provoke thought and renew our collective commitment to peace, empathy, and human connection.
