Painting for Peace
The hand painting of Ariva depicts two open eyes. An adult woman is in the eyeball on the right and a boy is on the left. Under the eyes are Javanese-Arabic words expressing the voices of victims of conflict.
In 2005, when the Aceh peace agreement was signed, Ariva Safura, 28, was still 12 years old. Realizing that peace is a cross-generational legacy, Ariva now actively campaigns for peace. She conveys her message through painting.
The latest painting of Ariva entitled Letter of Hope was displayed in a program to commemorate the 17 years of peace in Aceh at the Office of the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (Kontras), Aceh, on Saturday (13/8/2022).
