ΠΟΛΕΜΟΣ/WAR

We live in a world confused full of hardships, joys, war, peace, poverty, prosperity, beautiful moments, moments of pain and anguish. Everything alternates at such a fast pace that you don’t have time to react and many times you don’t have time to manage it. But this is the tangible reality of life. The future is uncertain for all people. At any moment you may lose someone of your own, get sick, listen to the siren of war, get hurt, hurt. This negative force that can change your whole life, dreams, thoughts in the most violent way you must accept it and be strong. It is very difficult to stay calm and calm in difficult situations, yet we must try to see even a little light in all this darkness that surrounds you. We must not lose hope within ourselves, our optimism, the other side of the coin, the positive side. On what is happening now, the pandemic that shook the entire planet, the war in Ukraine, the deaths, the hardships, the lost children’s smiles, I want through my works to show that united we will drive out this negative power. With the power of true love for our fellow man, solidarity, and faith for a better future for future generations, I believe that the world will become more beautiful with more children’s smiles, peace, and freedom.

War is the most destructive thing that can happen to people. Deaths, bombings, disasters, wounded, pain, terror, despair are some of the elements of war. Whether it is power, economic, or political interests, the consequences of war are the same. What I want to emphasize and recall through my works is the fact that the greatest influence is received by children. As victims of war, they lose their innocence and childhood and from one moment to the next they are faced with their most terrifying nightmare. They are called upon to mature and accept the tragic situations of war without any return. It is regrettable that man is on the one hand such a clever and resourceful being and on the other so self-destructive. United and loved if they were all people, they could all be happy without fear of war. We live in a time when the meaning of life has been lost. People are killed, they ache, they cry, children lose the smile from their face, the environment is subjected to all the harmful human activities that have not stopped, and all this for what benefit? Absolutely none. Only destruction. Through my works I want to show the whole world that it is up to us to prevent evil and move towards a peaceful world with the main values of peace, solidarity, and love for our fellow man. But all this is always based on equality between people, acceptance of diversity and unity.  United people can work wonders. United people can be stronger and face everything. NO WAR, YES TO CHILDREN’S SMILES, YES TO INNOCENCE, YES TO PEACE.
