«LET THE PEACE FLOW NOT THE WAR GROW»

2015
Hamra, Beirut, Libanon

This wall is another huge mural I painted on the busy streets of Hamra in Beirut. It‘s content is about peace and hapiness which are visualized by brightly colored shapes that form abstract birds and nature. The spot where the wall is situated was heavily marked by war between different religions during many years. The intention of the painting is to intensify the positivity and peace in such a melting pot of various cultures and religions. The diversity of many colors and shapes represents the different aspects and cultures of people living and working in this area.

 

«WALL OF PEACE»

2015
Beit-Habbak, Libanon

This wall is located along the road heading to Beit-Habbak, a small village in the mountains of Lebanon. There are a lot of holes in the raw concrete wall, which are used for shelters by birds. This artwork is a product of intuitive painting. I didn‘t use a ladder, or a scaffold. In order to reach the upper spots on the 15 meters high wall, I used to operate with a pole. To paint this huge graffito I relied myself on the simple method of dispersion painting. Thematically the image reflects the contrasts between nature and technology and points out the feathered inhabitants of our planet.
