Disillusioned ( oil painting 30.5x30.5cm)
This is a painting that tells a story that shook my country of birth.
It’s painted in oil on a wooden panel measuring 30.5×30.5cm and is 3.5 cm deep
On 4 August 2020, a huge explosion rocked Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, killing more than two hundred people. More than 2700 tons of ammonium nitrates stored in the port of this beautiful city caused what was described as the largest non-nuclear explosion. Angry crowds took to the streets calling for accountability, a change of governement and the departure of the political leaders who governed the country since the civil war in 1975. Sadly the protests failed, and those who hoped for change ended with broken hopes. I tried to tell their story in this painting, showing a sequence of events. The explosion, the protests under a raised fist with the word "revolution", and a woman looking exhausted and sitting next to a pile of newspapers with headlines reading “All means all”. This demand was targetted at the political rulers of the country from all sides who had been ruling the country since the civil war in 1975.
