Discovering War by Antonino La vela

These paintings present a vivid exploration of the complex narrative of war. Through the use of silhouetted figures and a kaleidoscopic array of colors and shapes, the artist conveys the duality of war's nature—the somber shadows of conflict juxtaposed with the vibrant celebration of peace. The abstract designs infuse the canvases with movement, suggesting the turmoil and subsequent relief that follows. Silhouettes in various stances, from contemplative to jubilant, evoke the universal emotional journey from the depths of war to the heights of human resilience and joy.
The artworks together form a thought-provoking dialogue on the human condition in the face of adversity, capturing both the gravity and the hope that emerge from the cessation of conflict.
