Untitled- from the migration series Painting by Justine Formentelli

Painting: Acrylic, collage on Paper.

Painting on paper. Unframed. Inspired by la Cote d'Opale (North of France) and its beautiful seascapes and the plight of the migrants who are desperately trying to reach the shore for a new life. These hooded silhouettes seem somewhat out of place in these peaceful surroundings even though the colouring of their clothes sometimes blend in the background. How difficult is it to be absorbed into a new culture, a new existence?
