http://www.paintersforhumanrights.org/ is a great site for any painter who wishes to express their work in relation to the declaration of human rights.
In our everyday lives sometimes a person may for get or may need to be reminded that all humans entail basic principals in human rights in todays society.
Unfortunately in many parts of the world ,there are many who are not as fortunate to be living in a civil society in which one can celebrate or express an individual's human right to these basic principals.
I choose to submit an portrait of an elderly man in arcylic paint,collage about Rwanda genecide,freedom of speech and thought in a pencil crayon drawing ,and safety and freedom of children in a cartoon.
I feel very lucky to participate and show my work on
http://www.paintersforhumanrights.org/, and I hope you will enjoy the art as well.
The Human Rights Declaration reminds us of our rights and freedoms that may be taken for granted.
Basic human rights is still very much alive in many war torn countries.
