One Painting One Prayer

A daily prayer for peace in Ukraine

Shih-Pao Lin

One Painting One Prayer is a daily creative series initiated by artist Lin since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian War. Each artwork serves as a sincere prayer for peace, reflecting Lin's commitment to conveying messages of peace, hope, and love through art. In this instance, he transforms an artist's prayer into a powerful peace movement, drawing strength from around the world to pave the way towards peace.

Shih-Pao Lin, a New York-based Taiwanese-American artist, has dedicated the past thirty years of his career to themes of love, peace, and hope. Since the onset of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Lin has embarked on a daily artistic ritual, painting prayers for peace in Ukraine. Through his art, he endeavors to evoke a heightened sense of humanity and peace consciousness. In 2023, Lin took concrete action by establishing the Shield Art Foundation and personally delivering relief supplies to Ukraine.
