Peace games? Olympic peace? Or at least a truce? Already in ancient times, corresponding agreements, which were supposed to guarantee a safe course of the games as well as a safe arrival and departure, were broken again and again.

Peace games? Olympic peace? Or at least a truce? Already in ancient times, corresponding agreements, which were supposed to guarantee a safe course of the games as well as a safe arrival and departure, were broken again and again. And even in modern times, the Olympic Games are regularly overshadowed by wars, cancellations, boycotts and terrorist attacks. The Olympic Games are also regularly misused politically - at least since the Nazi propaganda show in Berlin, 1936.

The 2022 Winter Olympics were held in Beijing. In a country ruled in an authoritarian (or increasingly totalitarian) manner by the Chinese Communist Party. The so-called “Peace Games” took place in a country that oppresses entire population groups such as the Uyghurs. And at the 2024 Summer Games in Paris, 'impartial' athletes from the warmongering countries Russia and Belarus will take part under neutral flags. Major sporting events have lost their innocence. Commerce comes before morality. Let's call them Blood Games.

This artwork is available as fine art print (paper format 50 x 50 cm, print format 40 x 40 cm) on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308g/m2 in a Limited Edition of 25 pieces (Hahnenmühle Certificate of Authenticity) and will be signed by the artist.

Dr. Matthias Kerling, digital artist and photographer, lives and works in Langen near Frankfurt am Main in Germany. He was born in Bamberg, Bavaria, and spent his childhood and youth in this medieval city, often referred to as “Franconian Rome.” The world heritage city is considered one of the most beautiful in Germany.

As a self-taught, independent artist with a degree in business informatics and a professional background as a quantitative research analyst, Matthias Kerling focuses on generative art and computer-aided art. Creative programming and traditional graphic techniques give him the freedom to express his artistic thoughts. In recent years, the possibilities of digital image processing have also sparked his interest in photography and photo design. He is also interested in classical printing and painting techniques.

The artist is inspired by the beauty of nature as well as quotes and classic literature. He is particularly passionate about the term “art of the word” or “from word to art”, a topic that is close to his heart. This approach also allows him to visually address social issues in his work while exploring the relationships between language, visual form and artistic communication. Matthias Kerling combines modern technology and artistic expression to create unique works that reflect his personal vision and commitment to art and society.
