All Things Fall and are Built Again

€3,200.00

The oil painting ‘All Things Fall and Are Built Again’ evokes a haunting scene of post-war London, seemingly frozen in time. Muted colours of blues and ochres dominate the canvas, casting a sombre hue over the desolate landscape. As the artist, I tried to skillfully capture the aftermath of destruction with scattered remnants of buildings among the rubble. Shadows creep across the painting, deepening the sense of despair and loss. Reflecting the sentiments in WB Yeats' poem ‘Lapis Lazuli’, the painting conveys a profound message of resilience amidst devastation, offering a poignant reminder of the enduring human spirit in the face of destruction.
