There is also the religious factor, some taking the stance of a rebirth of the holy wars. Outside influences by neighbouring countries do not facilitate the situation. The fourth horseman has nurtured his men in power, he has brought them through unscathed, promoted their decisions causing untold destruction and has eroded all that is valued by civilised nations. In executing this work I have endeavoured to forward the viewer an image of an inane environment, encompassing a situation giving off vibrations of dark satanic overtones. This painting is dedicated as a statement to the non-glorification of war and its victors.
War is a contemptible act, an event of a breakdown in communication between nations.
There is a place for war, and for tyrants and despots who favour the side of the fourth horseman of the apocalypse. Conflict is a negative-sum contest. Both sides always lose.
