Pictures for Palestinians

The 'Pictures for Palestinians' collection grew from watching, listening, and feeling the weight of the news in the last two years. The paintings are gestures of solidarity made with the belief that art can bear witness, and raise money, to support those working to help Palestinians.

"For over 40 years, MAP has provided life-saving health care to children, women and men who continue against all odds to struggle for the existence of one complete Palestine. Since October 2023, Israel – virtually unchecked – has pursued the destruction of that struggle, and the destruction of Palestine itself. MAP’s work is more crucial than ever and I’m proud to be associated with the artists who are supporting and helping to sustain that work. Go to http://artbyjaned.com . Save Palestine. Free Palestine."

In 2024 90% of the Gazan population of 2.1 million people were displaced from their homes. Many were displaced more than once. According to the Costs of War Project at Brown University the US spent $17.9 billion on military aid to Israel in the year from October 2023.That’s why the Statue of Liberty and Joe Biden are cowering in the corner of the picture under the tents and rubble.

Queuing for Food - Green

I wanted to develop the skeletal/silhouette impact of the original black oil and white paper image to give it more body and more depth. I’ve worked with a number of versions - the different colours giving different impressions.

"I am so pleased with this. Of course it is much more 'contained' than when unframed and perplexing at first sight, then such powerful images. Colours extraordinary"

Heavy Going

In the summer 2025 the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation operated as an outsourced aid programme replacing the forcibly ejected UN programmes. Collecting aid became a dangerous task for near starving Palestinians.

“What we are witnessing in Lebanon is the unmistakable extension of the Israeli military playbook used in Gaza - collective punishment, forced displacement, and the deliberate terrorising of civilian populations, including already traumatised Palestinian communities."

The Collage for Gaza Series

I started working on these collages as tearing printed images of Gaza seemed an apt way to reflect how Gaza itself was being torn apart.

Resilience Series

I have started working on the Resilience series in the hope of reflecting, at least to some small extent, the resilience of the Palestinian people. One way I’m trying to do this is by painting tiny images of people staying strong in the midst of the vast forces enveloping them . Another way is simply by the strength of the colours and the interaction of the shapes in the pictures.

Resilience - Yellow 2

(with a blue mount)

You can see above how the Yellow 2 looks on a blue mount.

Resilience - Yellow 1

(with a white mount)

You can see above how the Yellow 1 would look on a white mount.

“ As violence escalates across the Middle East, Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) urgently calls for the reopening of all crossings into Gaza, the unrestricted entry of vital humanitarian aid, and the end of movement restrictions on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

"Following the US and Israel's military attacks on Iran, and Iran's subsequent retaliatory attacks, Israeli authorities closed every crossing into Gaza to aid deliveries. Karem Abu Salem crossing was partially reopened today, but the Rafah crossing and others remain closed indefinitely. Large scale aid delivery into Gaza has been blocked, and entry and exit for humanitarian staff and medical evacuations has been suspended.

"Movement restrictions have also been imposed in the West Bank. These actions are placing Palestinian lives at risk and severely obstructing the ability of medical teams to operate.”
