MNAC INSPIRATION

We decided to be inspired by this MNAC work of "Expulsión de los mercaderes del Templo" by Giandomenico Tiepolo. This work represented the expulsion of the merchants and we related it to the Ukrainian War, since with everything that is happening indirectly they are forcing them to leave.

​

We started by drawing an idyllic Ukrainian landscape, as we thought we could relate it to this year's theme. Once this landscape was painted, we wanted to show the conflict that is currently happening there and that's why we made this kind of explosion that frames the picture on the sides based on a foam that we painted with black spray.

​

What we wanted to represent is the fact that from night to day an everyday place like Ukraine was or could be perfectly where we live because many conflicts also happen that destroy the lives of many people from one day to the next. It is for this reason that we decided to mask an idyllic landscape with an explosion with volume to impact more and give more expressiveness to the work.
