His actions invading Ukraine will forever paint the character of his life in blood red. My drawing posted above relates Putin’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine with Hitler’s 1939 invasion of Poland. It is a crude, blunt visual concept depicting both leaders stomping forward, their boots and clothing soaked in blood red. Each man is using their country flag as reason to validate the destruction and sorrow they have unleashed… This drawing was created digitally combined with gouache painted texturing and created for the INXart editorial service/March 2022.
