Description Dying Africa...
Well... this should just visualize something that went through my mind today.. that it almost seems that africa is dying... or better: the people... specially because of hunger... and even more dangerous and brutal: AIDS...
Its horrible and very sad what happens down there
That inspired me to do this minimalistic painting.

edit: did some very little changes at the facial expression.

It is just too bad powerful governments don't give a crap about Africa. It's in dire need of major resourses and help.

es isch ja nöd so das die seriöse Hilfwerk eifach chönd mache was sie wänd. Die werdet sehr gnau überwacht vom Staat und oft au dä UNO. Nur drun sinds au offiziell anerkannt und zertifiziert. Ich finde das seit scho au öppis us. Und es git ja au immer peinlichst gnaui Bricht für was sie wänn wo wie viel Geld usgäh händ ect ect damit alles nahvollzieh bar und au kontrollierbar isch falls märs kontrolliere will.
