Artist: Alan Weiss
Style: Narrative Figurative Art
Original Artwork with Certificate of Authenticity.
Size: 20.1H x 20.1W x 0.2in
Frame excluded, but is available on special request.

Depiction of the utter futility of a sectarian & religious civil war spanning back centuries. Humanity lost - again.
Hatred between Syria's religious groups, pitching the Sunni Muslim majority against the president's Shia Alawite sect.
Such divisions have led both sides to commit atrocities, torn communities apart and dimmed hopes of peace, with over 550,000 dead or missing.
In addition jihadist groups Islamic State (IS) and al-Qaeda have flourished.
Syria's Kurds, who want the right of self-government but have not fought Mr Assad's forces, have added another dimension to the conflict.

As a professional artist my work is focused on figurative portraiture, wildlife, and landscapes. My work is realistic and representative in nature, and is not limited to any specific style or subject matter, and I often explore new techniques and ideas to keep my art fresh and exciting. I paint primarily in oils on linen canvas, and my studio is based in the vibrant city of Cape Town, South Africa. While my work covers a broad spectrum of subjects, wildlife has always been a focal point throughout my career, leaning now more to figurative portraiture. I strive to evoke emotions in my viewers and to connect them with their own life experiences through my art. My work is inspired by the old masters, drawing inspiration from the golden age of the Dutch Masters Rembrandt, Hals & Vermeer & from more contemporary artists like John Singer Sargent, Bo Bartlett, Andrew Wyeth, Odd Nerdrum, Vincent Desiderio, Cesar Santos and Antonio Lopez Garcia. My paintings are an investment in fine art. They have been featured in numerous exhibitions, won a number of awards, and my collectors span the globe. If you're looking for captivating, thought-provoking, and emotional works of art, then look no further. Join me on my journey as a professional artist and let my paintings add beauty and inspiration to your life.
