About this artwork
The large-format work was created in the second year of Russia's attack on Ukraine. In the middle of the picture is a destroyed apartment block that could be in one of the attacked cities (Kiev, Kherson, Odessa). In the center of the picture is an abandoned children's swing; it is a Soviet model in the colors pink, light blue and yellow, which radiate onto the ruins. The swing is a symbol of the concern of children as part of the civilian population,… of flight, expulsion and especially of the war crime of child abduction by the Russian army. The two side areas of the three-part painting - a traditional triptych - are blurred. On the left side we can vaguely see a portrait - possibly that of the main actor Putin. On the right the dove of peace flies out of the picture; it represents the deep desire of the expelled residents for peace, but turns away.
Günther Baechler, an art teacher, painter and peace diplomat, works with natural materials such as sand, stones and wood. He applies a bird's eye view, which gives his semi-abstract works an unusual appearance and sets them apart from typical landscape paintings. The focus on earth colours and textures presented in large-scale works suggests environmental changes. His artworks, which process his experiences in conflict areas, convey intense emotions and invite reflection, projecting the viewer onto the depths of the human experience.
