20 x 20 Wheat paste / Mixed media / Aerosol paint / Enamel on Canvas.

“RESOLVE” is intended to reflect the vision, mission, and core values of New York Peace Institute with a message of understanding. When we learn to listen with the intention to understand, rather than to merely reply, we display the desire to connect with one another, which leads to harmony, unity, and resolution. Pigeons are symbolic of peace; we encounter them every day in New York City and they should serve as a reminder to be kinder and gentler to ourselves and to each other. 

Artist Bio:

 Savior Elmundo is a Renaissance man; an accomplished dancer, choreographer, artist, and filmmaker who is driven by his passion for creative expression. Born in 1973, in Harlem, New York, Savior had the privilege of coming up in the epicenter of the emergence of hip-hop while catching the tail end of an epic art scene in New York City. The convergence of these two worlds opened him to the possibilities of the unresolved passions within him. As a young, talented, self-taught dancer, he appeared in commercials and with well-known artists in music videos and on stage around the world. He is also a filmmaker who has successfully completed five short films that were featured in several film festivals. Savior picked up a brush to express his feelings after the loss of a close family member and has continuously shown in art shows in Los Angeles, California, and New York, New York since 2008. The frenetic layered style he has developed comes from the wealth of inspiration he takes from the streets. Layers of paint, images, records, 3-D letters and other mixed media are reminiscent of the ‘80s and ‘90s, the years when Savior was coming up as an artist. His artistic style has evolved over the past eight years to expose the complexities of life, culture, and his personal experiences. His evocative collage pieces reveal a moment in time that is nostalgic and powerful. Savior is honored to have been commissioned to do several installation pieces at the World Trade Center.
