Painting On Death

in peace •  7 years ago  (edited)

In the war...
there are those who flee and stay away from the fighting...
And there are those who to fight...
And there are those who benefit from the war for control and who benefit from collecting money...

But the Syrian artist Akram Abo Alfoz has another opinion
Akram Abo Alfoz makes peace from death.

Akram Abo Alfoz is changing the deadly bombs that fall on his city every day to wonderful and beautiful paintings in order to teach us that we can live in peace in all case and at all times and anywhere...
And a lot of magazines and newspapers and TV channels talked about his paintings...
He lives in a siege, but his paintings are everywhere in the world.

‏I wanted to share with you some of his drawings with what he writes ... we're also looking for a way to make peace...

When death comes to us from the window of hope
We change it meaning
We show it our culture
We teach it lessons about life


To those who negotiate on our fate and future:
‏Sun did not and will not raise up from Moscow. I will be more extreme, and build for you a palace in eastern Ghouta, a palace build from the bombs coming from Sochi, and the rockets coming from Kremlin ...Akram Abo Alfoz


Your inaction is killing us more than weapons. More statements from you will not save children of ‬
‫Ghouta


It falls on us to tell us "I'm your destiny!"
‏It didn't know that we were the ones chasing death as if we were its shadow.
‏Not for the love of it, but for the love of the life thereafter...Akram Abo Alfoz


Sometimes we have to beautify a lot of things to see it like what the mind wants to see.....Akram Abo Alfoz


Some love kills... Syria

Valentine's day


We will stay here
‏Even if you scorch our land, we will stay in cradle of civilizations to rebuild it again.
‏We will make bridges from our bodies for the generations to cross to the future.
‏We will build a new civilization from the ruins of our homes.
‏We will make a Christmas tree from your shells and bombs, and light it for peace in our wounded Ghouta


Stop your grudge and your shells because:
We will destroy it with hope and love for life and Freedom,
We have nothing to share except the laughter of our children.


These people love life
Who kills his own people is a traitor


Their toys with the scent of death
and the Colors of life
Syrian children...


Fired to blend with red color only. it didn't know that the colors of life were waiting for it.


|| The road to life ||



This artist chose the road of peace and was able to deliver his voice to all the world even though he lives in the war... What do you choose?
