About this artwork

The artwork titled *Wired Skulls* depicts two skulls entwined with barbed wire, symbolising suffering, restraint, and dehumanisation experienced by people during wars. The black background enhances the sense of emptiness and despair, giving the piece a sombre and reflective character. The barbed wire, as a symbol of violence and oppression, serves as a reminder of the numerous victims of armed conflicts—those who lost their lives as well as those who were stripped of their freedom and humanity.

This painting can be interpreted as a tribute to those who have suffered due to wars and as a warning against repeating the mistakes of the past. The minimalist composition and absence of colour underscore the universality of its message, resonating with all humanity, regardless of time or place.
