Guernica is probably Picasso's most powerful political statement. He painted it as an immediate reaction to the Nazi's bombing on the Basque town of Guernica during Spanish Civil War.

Guernica shows the tragedies of war and the suffering it inflicts upon individuals, particularly innocent civilians. It's now seen as a universal symbol against war. The woman on my painting is staring at her phone.

Peace Mission

Todays painting isn't a happy one, but I just had to paint it. As you might have heard on the news Dutch troops are in Afghanistan. I don't know how they call it in other countries, but here they don't call it going to war, they call it a peace mission. I believe this is one of the largest marketing schemes I have ever seen, turning a war into something positive. I decided to paint a couple of soldiers carrying one of their fallen mates in his coffin. I want to point out that even though they call it a peace mission, it actually is a war and you can die in it.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma
