Original artwork description:

Overcome boundaries and differences. Immanuel Kant's writing about ETERNAL PEACE wanted exactly that and is more relevant than ever.

The work is made with acrylic and graphite. Collage elements, stamps, scratches and traces bring excitement.
The image is spatulated and has typographic elements.
The colors are dominated by a soft gray-blue with black and white and neon pink.

How can all human cultures live together peacefully? Kant's concepts of "world republic" and "world rights" are solutions for peace and equality among people. Behind this lies his concept of universalism. The maxim that all rules and laws apply to all people. The categorical imperative is an unbreakable rule.

Kant's works are not without controversy. Racist narratives of his time can be found in his early works. In ETERNAL PEACE he dissolves them.

Materials used:

Acrylic, graphite, varnish
