The Bombing of Mariupol by Guillo Perez III is a poignant oil painting capturing the aftermath of the devastating 2015 bombing in Mariupol, Ukraine. Through expressive brushwork and a dramatic palette of greys, deep reds, and muted tones, Perez conveys the chaos, destruction, and profound grief experienced by the victims.

"The Bombing of Mariupol reflects both tragedy and resilience, a tribute to those affected and a visual call for peace." – Guillo Perez III

The painting depicts streets strewn with rubble, buildings in ruins, and the lingering impact of violence on the community. It stands as a powerful reminder of the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine, which began in 2014 with Russia's annexation of Crimea and the rise of pro-Russian separatists, resulting in thousands of lives lost and millions displaced.

About the Artist — Guillo Pérez III

Guillo Pérez III is a Dominican–American painter whose work merges the strength of his Caribbean heritage with the edge of his New York upbringing. As the grandson of the celebrated master Guillo Pérez, he carries a powerful artistic lineage —yet his voice is unmistakably his own.

Working from Tampa, Guillo developed his signature philosophy, Bauhaus Budō, blending Bauhaus structure with the discipline of martial arts. His paintings pulse with geometry, myth, color, and movement.

His work has been exhibited across the U.S. and the Caribbean, and he has helped build creative communities in Miami, New York, and Tampa. The New York Times recognized him as a “Star Maker.”
