ODE TO PEACE

ODE TO PEACE


In a world where leaders see differences as something negative, I wanted to adress the beauty of how COLOR-FULL and amazing a multifaceted and diverse world can be.

ODE TO PEACE is a series of 24 unique acrylics on canvas, painted in a variety of iridescent, pearlescent and matte colors.

Since I was a kid I’ve loved the peace symbol and my very first pair of earrings were silver studs with cute little dangling PEACE signs. 

When I started to investigate the peace symbol for this art series, I learned that the British designer Gerald Holtom innovated it by using the flag semaphore signal for the letter N and D, as he created it for the British Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in 1958.

You can see all paintings here: ODE - TO - PEACE - SERIES

Let's celebrate our differences and cherish the colorful diversity we have in this world of ours! PEACE OUT,

Desirée
