Oil on Canvas – 30” x 48”
April 2015

An exposition of the guerilla and paramilitary groups in Colombia, most notably the FARC, former AUC, and current “Bacrims,” and the fear and destruction that they force upon the very people they falsely claim to help; the poor and especially native people, groups of which more than six million are now displaced in Colombia. In this painting, we have Indigenous people from the Caldas region of Colombia, where the best coffee in Colombia comes from. They are being robbed, while in the background the extremely active Volcano, Nevado del Ruiz, is erupting. The indigenous child chooses to run towards the erupting volcano.
