Sonia Sanjuán Ruiz: “fallen soldier” (2025)

This Artwork was created by the artist Sonia Sanjuán Ruiz, an emerging artist born in 2008. The title of the Artwork is: “Fallen Soldier” It was created in 2025 The Artwork is a portrait of a soldier, with a tired and desperate face. This Artwork deals with that despair after the horrors of fighting in war. And how soldiers are dehumanized, the difficulty of being just another cog in the machine and the burden that it represents. On one hand, there is the defense of the country and the honors, but also the exhaustion of killing people in a war for a conflict we did not choose. This duality of war, of moving forward without being sure why, and the longing to feel safe. The area of the face with more light represents the more human side, and the dark area the horrors of war. It is done in black, white, and shades of gray. It all started in 2025. At that time, I was studying art in high school in Madrid, Spain (the country and city where I still live). My art teacher assigned us a project on a free theme, but using chiaroscuro. At that time, I (the author of the Artwork, Sonia Sanjuán Ruiz) decided to do more than just a simple assignment. I decided to create a piece that symbolized the darkness of war, because even though my country is currently free of wars, the world continues to suffer from them and the dehumanization of soldiers.
