Why
I set up this Gallery
Have
you ever considered how life would be if we did not have inalienable
Rights such as the Universal
Declaration for Human Rights or the US Constitution?
Inalienable:
"Natural rights (also called moral rights or inalienable
rights) are rights which are not contingent upon the laws, customs,
or beliefs of a particular society or polity. Natural rights
are thus necessarily universal, whereas legal rights are culturally
and politically relative." (Wikipedia)
"Incapable of being repudiated or transferred to another;
"endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights."
"Incapable of being alienated, surrendered, or transferred"
(Merriam-Webster)
I am a lover of the Arts, Life, Liberty & Freedom and the
pursuit of Happiness. I also would like for those less fortunate
to experience the same and have an equal chance to raise to
greater heights.
I
read the Universal
Declaration for Human Rights and realized that
if each of these inalienable rights
were fully recognized, understood and respected by nations,
governments and it's citizens, life would be so much more enjoyable.
There would be basic rights for all and religions could be practiced
without bigotry. Problems, conflicts and differences could be
resolved with respect, dignity and communication instead of
wars, torture, killing and mass destruction by a few paranoid,
cowed despots.
In
other words this planet could be one great place to live on!
- Think about it...
We
live in turbulent times! The importance of promoting and defending
man's Inalienable Rights can not be overstated. As artists we
have a purpose in this society. In fact we embody such Human
Rights as the "Freedom of Thought (18)" and the "Freedom
of Speech" (19). Artists are peaceful people, we do not
fight wars, but if we do "fight" it is in form of
ideas and concepts which we express through our Works of Art.
Painters
for Human Rights
is a grassroots movement for painters to use their creativity
and art to promote Human Rights. It is a diverse all embracing
online gallery with works inspired by Human Rights
from Artists for Human Rights. To
help raise awareness, demand and defend Human Rights. Painters
of all mediums, nationality, creed or religion are welcome!
Artists and Art lovers who wish to support this cause are most
welcome to participate.

" Because the artist deals in future realities, he
always seeks improvements or changes in the existing reality. This
makes the artist, inevitably and invariably, a rebel against the
status quo. The artist, day by day, by postulating the new realities
of the future, accomplishes peaceful revolution"
- L.Ron Hubbard
