All the works in the series, as with other pieces that deal with soldiers and weapons, are somehow reflection on the media: they are based on images from the press, and such images have been, and are, quite abundant these days.<br /> <br /> The idea of camouflage is in itself a very painterly concept. In my painting it has developed into bushes of flowers (tropical flowers, another subject recurrent in some paintings of mine), and the idea of bucolic landscapes. I never have been interested in painting landscapes for the sake of it, yet now I discover myself thinking to incorporate the notion of traditional landscape and camouflage, and incorporate the latter into the former.<br /> <br /> As in other works of mine, implicit contradictions are present: a sense of menacing beauty, with bushes of flowers, warm, bucolic and inviting, yet several life-size men carry weapons are also present, that are staring at us, as in 'With Many Thanks to John Moore and Acquaintances', 2010. </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="520" height="21"> </td> <td width="302"> </td> </tr> </table>  </div>  </div>  </body> </html>
