Start School Soldier

Start School Soldier

In many European countries it is custom,to give the school beginners a bag full of sweets on their first school day.
The face of the boy is blurred
- just a distorted mouth gives us puzzling.
His cap looks like a helmet.
One might almost believe that the boy is carrying a war weapon in his arms.
The poor landscape still supports this gloomy scene.
My picture would like to give food for thought about children who live in war scenes and I want to show the everyday life of those children - maybe of a little child soldier.
Or is it a school boy with his proud mother in the background?

Hi Gabriele,
Have you got this message?
Are you interested in participating in an International Group Exhibition late next year (2010) in Athens???
If yes, then have a look on my C Studio Events(1)...
Keep in touch and take care, yours Takis

Danke, Margit!
So sollte es auch herüber kommen.
In meinen Bildern kommt es auf die Magie an, die den Betrachter in Bann ziehen soll.
Liebe Grüße
Gabriele

Hi, Rossana
I think it is not a monster. It is in your fantasy....
and if there is a monster, it would be done by today's society.
