Original artwork description:

The painting "From the War" from the series "Solomon's Paradox".
The series "Solomon's Paradox" consists of 18 paintings, divided into three parts: "Attack", "Escape", and "Stupor". This particular work is from the second part, "Escape". In this section, I reflect on what I have ever fled from, along with a response to the reflections of my social media followers. Generally, in all the paintings, the center of the canvas features a white circle, a bubble symbolizing the limited worldview of the protagonist. Inside the circle, a silhouette of a person with blurred edges is depicted. This blurriness creates a sense of movement within the vacuum of the white space.

The outer part of the paintings differs each time.
In the painting "From the War," the human figure is rendered in dark blue tones, evoking a sense of motion and loneliness. The background around the white circle is composed of deep blue, orange, and brown hues, symbolizing destruction, smoke, and fire. In the lower part of the painting, one can discern the outlines of buildings, a city affected by the consequences of conflict.

The overall mood of the painting conveys complex emotions: escape, confusion, and pain. The protagonist seems to be searching for a way out of the darkness.
The painting is simple, minimalistic, yet it raises a thought-provoking question: What is the value of my life?
