There is a lot of struggle and intolerance in our world. Someone uses “soft power” with the help of “characters”, someone prefers “brute force”. And we all have to deal with this, often imposed, intolerance, which is difficult to disengage from today, but, hey, wait a moment to get upset, because you can just get rid of this cloud! I used the image of a “big ball of violence”, where cartoonists use clouds of dust to hide acts of physical violence from children. The elements seen from the cloud already inspire anxiety, which means that inside the "cloud of dust" there is something incredibly terrifying! So monstrous that even I, an artist, unencumbered by hypocrisy, did not dare to depict those images that chill my soul, but left space for the imagination of the viewer. All the attributes represented in the painting symbolize violence against human life. Crusades, terrorist attacks, the law of the jungle "the strongest is right, even when he is wrong," the manipulation of religion, the "soft" forced imposition of alien opinions. After all, the film and television industries are working on the interest of one culture, promoting its values and humiliating the rest. This is not striking, and therefore is called "soft power." All, as bequeathed by Joseph Goebbels. And that's fine. This is the world in which we live now. I tried to concentrate all this in this "cloud". With this work, I would like to remind you that in each of us there is something that worries very deeply, and this anxiety changes the way people live, fear creates distrust of one’s fellow creature and, accordingly, interconnection is broken. This picture is a call for tolerance and trust in each other. - In this technique, each shade of color was put separately and was applied without mixing with other colors, respectively, in the process of painting there was not a single thinning layer. Therefore, there is a sense of "mosaic" strokes.
