About this artwork
Perhaps the first time we understood the importance of global warming was the moment we saw a polar bear's anxious eyes about his life and habitat on a torn glaciers stock.
The frenzy of producing and consuming more than what we need is destroying our globe, even if everyone dont be aware of his or her responsibilities about this issue, maybe we will have to share the sadness of the polar bear's eyes.
This artwok was prepared in a minimal form… with a minimum number of pieces in order to understand how clear the subject is.
The surface is also painted with titanium white oil paint and brush strokes that cut each other. The other parts are painted in a minimal form of black to capture the contrast.
