“Death Angel”

“Death Angel” is a drawing inspired by a wood sculpture of an unknown artist from New Mexico in 1900. You can see the original at the de Young museum.

It seems easy to forget about simple things following different political debates and struggles nowadays. But even simple things can put somebody between life and death. The human society is very advanced when it comes to technology and medicine. The world is different today compare to a hundred years ago. Yet, hunger suffering still exists despite that it’s 100% preventable. I ask myself, is it possible for an artist to make any difference without getting involved in political games?

In the ideal world art, power and money would work together.
