THE TREE OF THE WARS: a Digital Collage as my particular tribute to the American-Jordanian illustrator Omar Rayyan
The tree of the wars. Digital art.
Regards, my beloved Steemit family, lovers of art and beauty:
I did this little exercise of artistic exploration with the free software https://firealpaca.com/, using all its large stock of tools available at no charge. As a starting point, I chose this picture by the great illustrator American-Jordanian Omar Rayyan whose work I find excellent and of the highest quality. Rayyan blog is here
I took the image from here
I chose this specific photo because I found it extremely evocative with its touch of childish expressiveness and nostalgic remembrance of the magic of the golden age, already lost, which suggested that I intervene with elements that denounce the violence of war. So I downloaded the copy of the original image, which has a color palette centered on the contrast between greens and reds. With FireAlpaca I added a series of very specific graphic elements trying not to change the original image as much as possible:
I changed the peaceful turtles into mortal machines:
I incorporated the faces of a couple of characters that are pointed out in various media such as think tank or financiers of how much war they invent and also an image that became viral thanks to social networks and that speaks of the anonymous victims of the war, in this case, the one that has destroyed the lives of so many Syrians:
I hope you like the final outcome, which I show above.

I'm worrying about you. !Tip 0.5
HOLA, my very dear friend... Just today I have been able to access to Steemit because one of the sequels of the long blackout is the failure with the internet... Certainly the situation has been very difficult but we have tried to keep the mood up... The most worrying thing has been to keep in good condition the insulin of my little niece that is so hard for us to obtain.... Thank God it was kept in good condition... I will tell to the community more details about my reflections and experiences of this terrible situation whose consequences will remain in time ... for now I just want to thank you for your great generosity towards me, that has deeply moved me ... May God give you many blessings, beautiful dolphin ♥♥♥
My grandson needs insulin and I can only imagine how worried you all must have been. I'm glad you were able keep her supply in good condition.
It sounds like you are doing the best you can with a terrible situation. Be safe my friend.
Hello dear friend... I am sorry that your grandson is part of the growing group of young people who require insulin ... that is a very worrying thing... Fortunately the madness of the climate has contributed to conserve it because although we should be in the middle of tropical summer the climate has been cool so during the hours when it was not refrigerated was well preserved and then we could count on the collaboration of the drugstore ... but it becomes increasingly difficult to get insulin brands NovoRapid and Levemir which are the ones my niece uses ... If you know of any foundation that can help us, don't hesitate to tell me... Fortunately my small experience as a hiker has helped me to face the situations we live in Venezuela with a better attitude .... I intend to write about it. Many blessings to your grandson ♥♥♥
I would give anything to be able to send you all the supplies that you need. I do not know of any available resources and am so sorry that our governments are causing so much pain and suffering for everyone, but especially for the children. I will make some inquiries, but I'm not expecting much.
I am glad your temperatures have been moderate and that you have the skills to take care of yourself!
Thank you very much dear friend for your concern and your solidarity... Don't worry, we have the absolute confidence that your family and mine will always have what they need for their health and well-being... In any case I was only referring to some international organization that is dedicated to assistance through health program... I know that if you know something about it you will let me know... The reality of Venezuela is very complex and although I am not unaware that many lobby groups, more or less secret, are to blame for what happens to us, certainly the governments of Chavez and now Maduro have the greatest responsibility... Their corruption is one of the greatest in the history of humanity... I am investigating to write a series of post on the root causes of our crisis... It takes a lot of research to be objective and balanced... Many hugs ♥♥♥
If you can write about it, while being objective and balanced, I will be impressed!
Well, my friend... It's done: I wrote from my heart a post about political and social situation in Venezuela... I know both sides of our political spectrum wouldn't like it hehehe...
