060 "The Birth of Peace" The Birth of Peace Full Image 48" x 72" / Oil on Canvas   by John WorldPeace THE BIRTH OF PEACE A partial interpretation from the artist's transient perspective At the center of the painting is an Amazon emerging from a portal into this reality. Her shoulders are strong because she must carry the world on her back. Her breasts are large because she must feed the entire world. Her head is thrown back because she is struggling to take her first breath. She is flanked on either side by a male and female dragon, which represents the duality of this reality. The dragons contain all the awesome power of the universe. They represent all dimensions. These dragons are small because they reside only within the earth's reality. They are assigned to protect Peace on the Earth. They are the Amazon’s connection to both the Universe and God. At the same time, they are her warriors in times of need. The dragons will be her constant companions for as long as she exists in this reality. The doves of peace rise up, using their energy to help birth the Amazon into this reality. The background is comprised of butterflies that symbolize the constant change in all dimensions and facets of this reality: a constant metamorphosis. John WorldPeace March 11, 2003
