About the artwork
This work revisits a mural painted by Pejac on the wall of a hospital in his native Santander during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is one of the first editions of the HOPE series, with only a few isolated figures. In subsequent editions, the figures gradually multiply to form the illusion of a giant crevasse, symbolizing both the tragedies of the pandemic and the global solidarity that ensued. The merging of tiny figures to create a larger image is a powerful metaphor for the impact of collective action. HOPE embodies art's ability to transcend collective trials and promote unity.
Expert opinion
This work is typical of Pejac's work, in terms of both subject and technique.
