“Promise of Pan” left piece of Triptych Painting

This work is the left piece of Triptych "Promise of Pan", inspired from a photograph I took working with newly arrived war-refugee children, of a Swedish boy (picture right) and an Iraqi war-refugee boy (picture left) that arrived in Sweden and the difficulty of integrating into a new culture. Their naked/nudity reflect vulnerability, frustration and lost innocence. Worked in charcoal, shadowed, the earthy rawness, expressing their exploitive nudity, acrylic and light pastel background colouring juxtapose their grim existence, divided by the thin red line of truth, the need/lack of true initiation. With ants moving in and out of Iraqi boy’s shadow with impunity, both walled into their own cultural legacy.
