Editorial illustrations on Peace and Conflict

Cover illustration for “Democrate” magazine (2022)
 

This cover depicts a white dove—a universal symbol of peace—rising above a burning Earth.
The flames evoke the urgency and devastation of global conflict, while the dove carries an olive branch as a sign of hope and resilience. A bullet, symbolizing violence and war, points toward the scene, creating tension between destruction and the possibility of peace.

The exact plot and symbolism were suggested by the client and might seem — and indeed be —banal. Yet this directness felt fitting, reflecting the shockingly brutal and tragically repetitive nature of recent events we all witness.

Dove Postcard (2022)

A poetic, minimalist image showing four silhouetted hands against bright blue background, meeting in a gesture of connection. The hands’ shadows overlap, forming a negative space silhouette of a dove ,holding an olive branch. This piece uses flat color fields and layered shadows to convey depth and emotion with simplicity.
