I finished this painting a few days before the 22nd anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the USA on September 11, 2001. At a time when the relentless war in Ukraine is raging on the border with Hungary, my homeland.
I feel that in those 22 years the world has not improved at all and evil is still actively pushing its horns.
The painting is a symbolic memento that warns against war and aggression. An iron rod sticking out of a piece of concrete expresses the idea of how easily solid reinforced concrete structures can become just a piece of waste in war due to human malice and hatred. It warns of the fragility of our being, which can easily find itself in ruins due to boundless aggression.
War leaves only rubble of scrap metal and concrete. The drop of water on the painting symbolically expresses the tears of sadness over this devastation.
The painting is dedicated to all victims of wars and terrorist attacks.

Péter Duhaj is a contemporary Hungarian painter whose artistic journey has been shaped by the influences of esteemed figures in Hungarian art history. Born with a passion for colors, shapes, and the essence of fleeting moments, Duhaj initially sought inspiration from the masters of academia, particularly drawing from the profound impact of Hungarian artists such as István Sándorfy, Zsolt Bodoni, László Nyári, and Tibor Csernus from the 20th century.
In the early stages of his career, Duhaj aimed to emulate the perspectives and techniques of these artistic luminaries, allowing their profound influence to guide his work. However, as his artistic voice matured, Duhaj began to carve out his own distinct style and means of expression. Through this evolution, he discovered a unique path that resonated with his personal vision and artistic sensibilities.
Confident in his direction, Péter Duhaj now navigates an artistic journey that is unmistakably his own. Liberated by the freedom to unleash his wild imagination, he creates works that captivate audiences worldwide. His art transcends boundaries, eliciting interest and admiration from diverse corners of the globe.
Duhaj's oeuvre is characterized by an unbridled exploration of colors, shapes, and moments that encapsulate emotions. His mastery is particularly evident in his depictions of nude figures - women, girls, and men - where his brilliant skill brings these subjects to life on canvas. The result is a collection of works that exude a nearly mystical and erotic charge, captivating viewers with the intensity of emotion conveyed through impeccably rendered forms.
