Catch the rainbow

"Catch the rainbow” by Lucian Sebastian Radu

acrylic on canvas

180 x 180 cm

I've just completed my latest painting, which is the fourth installment in my "Collision" series. This piece, titled "Catch the Rainbow," is part of a larger thematic exploration called W.A.R. (We Are Right). Within this series, I delve into important themes of conflict, innocence, and the human condition.

In "Catch the Rainbow," I use teddy bears as symbols of childhood innocence, set against the backdrop of war. The central focus is on a soap bubble hovering above the chaos—a fragile representation of peace. Yet, the children in the painting are reaching out to touch it, almost as if trying to catch a rainbow, oblivious to the stakes involved.

Through the W.A.R. series, and specifically "Catch the Rainbow," I aim to provoke reflection on the vulnerability of peace in our world and the profound impact of war on innocent lives, particularly children.
