Peace, Love and Harmony, Dirgahayu Muhammad, 2024
Acrylic on Canvass 50 x 60 cm
This is my imagination when Rasulullah Muhammad was born. History told us that He was born when a war came up in that year. Soldiers riding Elephants was attacking Ka’bah and Ababil birds took stones from hell to protect Ka’bah… Is that true? It is very doubtfull if a noble man in this universe until the end of the world can be presence on that kind of chaos, war between elephant and ababil. The war really happen between people who hate Ka’bah try to control Elephants but the biggest elephant refused to destroy Ka’bah. The elephant just sitting in front of Ka’bah. In fact, the biggest elephant try to run to Yaman, as his hometown. Ababil birds throwing Stones from hell to people who start war. Muhammad birth was such a blessing for the universe. It is create peace, love and Harmony not only for humankind but also for every living creature on earth…
At last, This painting is describing that kind of harmony between elephants and ababil birds who live happily in front of Ka’bah when Muhammad born 😘
