Ben Thynal's artwork

Here is Ben Thynal's artwork.
It's a Killer
110 x 110 cm

Landmines destroy everything from animals to humans when they step on or touch them. They injure or disable people and are sometimes fatal. In this painting, I want to urge everyone in the world, regardless of their race, to come together and abolish the use of landmines. Landmines impoverish both individual families and wider communities.

Sounds of Peace
110 x 110 cm
It is the sound of the destruction of landmines which also brings hope to the people living in mined areas. For every landmine destroyed, one or more lives are saved. The sound of landmines being destroyed also means the land becomes usable for the local community. When I first heard the sound of a landmine being detonated, it scared me, but after the sound dissipated it left a feeling of happiness and safety.
