'The Girl In The Red Dress' Painting

This painting, done on 300 gms paper, is inspired by a scene from the WW2 movie 'Schindler's List': a small Jewish girl in a red coat stands rather lost against a grey background filled with German soldiers and officers, busy rounding up people for a transport to an extermination camp. The girl, although lost, for me also embodies 'hope', the hope for a better future when all of this will be history. And it reflects 'courage', the courage to live, against all odds. Life loving itself to death. This painting, set in a limited pallet of sober acrylics, wants to emanate a message of hope-in-despair. The contrast between the girl and the background represents the contrasts that define our lives until we find a way to overcome these and become whole. The broad brushstrokes and lack of detail reflect the dream-like state that we enter in once we are subjected to extreme anxiety and stress. I hope the viewer will be able to find these contrasts in him/herself and ultimately rise above them towards a realm where there is no good, nor evil, just pure being.
