Reckless Peace
1993

"In a world where words are exchanged, informations manipulated, and media manipulating, my art stands a witness to Man's ways and an observer of his times, and mine.  Pursuing Power and Wealth, Man mutates and mutilates Truth, mystifies it with rhetoric and reason, and shrouds it with the flags of hypocrisy and deception.

Zealously "national interests" are exchanged for "human rights" and easily the latter are disregarded when they are not one with the former. Faithfully Democracy supports tyrants and dictators who play her music and wear her casts. Perpetually small democracies become bargaining chips for the Big Guards, chips used to purchase the friendship and support of regional powers and tycoons.

Man's ways and politics are observed:  Perversion paves them, Corruption guides them, Absurdity trails them. In a interwoven world, the connecting threads are altered into wires of discord, division, and rupture and ropes of intolerance, hatred, and death.  Man reaches for peace and tears it to pieces.  Inhumane chain, is war your design for economic stability and prosperity?  Reckless Peace, who guides you? Your servants are inversed into artists painting bright what is dark and vice-versa.politicians are artists par excellence.

A painting will not change history or deviate its course, nor will it stop a war or feed a child.  Art will not awaken those who are intoxicated by their ambitions, drunk with their gains, and addicted to their comfort and security.  Nonetheless a painting is evidence of a period, a glance of the events that create it. The brightest light in an image is but darkness when compared to the faintest ray of reality.Alas, silent work! You can merely aspire to be a testimony of the power that inspires you."
