Education is the Most Powerful Weapon

 

This is my latest 'Oil Painting'.

I had taken a long break to painting and have revived it in the recent years. During this lock down period, I took out time and did some painting.

I wanted to paint something realistic and creative for the Teachers' Day, 2020.

The concept of sword and shield was in the mind. I quickly transformed my ideas into a small pencil drawing initially and then tried on canvas.

This painting is a symbolic representation that education is the most powerful weapon. I chose pen and a book instead of a sword and a shield.

Further to give it an ancient look I inscribed two of my favourite quotes on the book in Greek language. I took the help of Google Translate.

• On the left is the famous quote of 

Nelson Mandela “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”

• On the right is another quote from favourite political philosopher 

Plato “Until philosophers become kings or kings become philosophers, cities will never rest from their evils"

My name and Teachers' Day wishes are added on the pic. They are not there in the original painting.

I have revived my skills of painting after a decade. I am self trained in painting through practice. This is my first one in a decade, I did this last year (August 2018) And I am serious about painting regularly now.


This was inspired by the art piece on the wall of Tong Tong’s house in Pororo.

It was responsible for restarting by painting journey after ten years.
