With La paix , Daniela Rothem Partouche delivers a work that is both symbolic and profoundly human. Two doves, universal figures of peace, meet in the center of the canvas, an olive branch in their beaks, crossing an azure sky dotted with words in different languages: Peace, Paix, Shalom, Paz, Мир, Frieden...
The artist uses HB pencil for light contours, oil pastel to bring roundness and warmth to the bodies of the doves, gouache for its velvety effects on the background, and finally golden acrylic to make the words of peace sparkle, like prayers suspended in the air.
Message & Symbolism
Peace is not meant to be spectacular, but essential. It is a simple and powerful image that speaks to all cultures and all beliefs. Doves do not oppose each other; they come together. The sky is common. Language, multiple, becomes a bridge rather than a barrier.
This work reminds us that peace is a delicate, often silent, yet always precious construct. It can be placed in a home, a place of contemplation, an office, or a child's bedroom, diffusing a gentle and soothing energy.
