He told us that Andres is going to be an important artist.
He was devastated by what he heard and chose to express himself via visual art.
The piece is inspired by Picassos iconic anti-war paintingGuernica(1937).
LikeGuernica, AndresInvasion of Ukraineis full of symbolism, part of which includes an eye above a Ukrainian flag.
I want people to know that Ukraine wont give up and theyll keep fighting, Andres explains.
I want it to be known as theGuernicaof today.
[Picasso] made the painting for Guernica and didnt want the people of Guernica to be forgotten.
