"NO SAFE PLACE FOR WOMEN"
HUMANITARIAN SOCIAL COMMENTARY ART


In 2017, I created this series of paintings, humanitarian art, to raise awareness to women suffering from abuse, assault, injury, battery, and murder all over the world.

The paintings represent what I call "Landscape Prayers." They are abstract so as not to offend any person's sensibilities and represent landscapes. The colors are representative. The dark colors express darkness, despair, sorrow. The white represents the purity of the souls, and oppositive feelings, the victim's Will to live. The action painting style movement of the paint represents the events, the during, the after, the thoughts, the despair, the unspeakable feelings of the victims, and the souls that now released from their bodies, can not rest in peace and call for recognition. The art was created to bring awareness to the plight of women and to make the abuse stop.

ALL MY ART IS OPINION #ProtestArt

It is September 15, 2024 and I opine, that things in the world, are getting worse. It is my belief and personal opinion, that in the entire world, people, that is men, women, children, are being abused, and that many governments have turned against the people, of all colors including white. The abuse of women has worsened. There is now open abuse of children. Men have been destroyed, put down and dejected so that they can no longer fight back.

In my opinion, it is a chaotic terrible state of affairs. I speak from a place of peace and my sole suggestion is that people vote for governments that support and protect them! One must remember that governments only exist because people put them in power. They should be representative of people's rights and desires. When the government becomes an entity on into itself, with its own desire to exist inspite of or against the wishes of the people, it is not a representative government. My sole argument is that people need to vote people into government positions that are independent of the government itself, and will represent the people. I do not advocate for violence. Peace and love to all.


Therefore, due to the abuse happening to everyone today, on September 15, 2024, I am dedicating this art series to raise awareness to stop abuse of ALL VICTIMS including men, women and children, of all colors including white, black, hispanic, brown, Asian, etc. And I refer to this art as "Protest Art", #ProtestArt as a result.

This art was created in 2017. It is a humanitarian art series, and part of Challenge 2017 to raise awareness to humanitarian causes. Therefore, it has always been a form of Protest Art, also called Social Commentary Art.

4. #ProtestArt. Tears of sorrow. Moments of lonely despair. The only thing left a cemetery of bad memories. What is there to remember? Blessings to all living and to all dead. And to those who've passed, rest in peace. Amen




5. #ProtestArt. And when she screamed for
And when she screamed for help, who came?
And when he screamed for help, who came?
And when they screamed for help, who came?
To give caring and charity start at home. Talk to your family. Ask them how are they doing? Listen to their answers. Forgive and love them. Amen




6. #ProtestArt. I can imagine that all that is left after abuse is a curled up beaten body with tears and whimpering. Hold up a tissue and cradle her, him, them in your arms. For, if you can love, love. Amen




7. #ProtestArt. How many ways can it be said, beating, assaulting, hurting people is bad. May it stop. And may God protect us forever and ever. Amen.




8. #ProtestArt. "I didn't speak up when they came for [fill in the blank]. I said nothing. Now they are coming for me." Lets speak up while we can. To ask for respect and dignity for human beings is not evil or racist or anything of the sort. All human beings, of all colors, Asian, Hispanic, White, Black, Brown... deserve dignity and respect. And we pray for that Amen.




10. #ProtestArt. Believe in yourself. And vote for people who represent your interests specially your human rights. This means reading, researching, questioning, talking, forming an independent decision, thinking on your own, and trusting yourself. Critical thinking skills are necessary throughout life, and the only way to vote. Amen
