Pintura: natureza viva. Contribuições da arte em defesa da natureza

Abstract

This research consists in creating a series of twelve paintings, made of vinyl tempera applied on the panama paper holder. In these compositions notifications of the harms caused to nature are showed by images that present the neglect to the environment. These paintings bring signs of destruction and scorn which are carried by man to the wild animals and to the environment in general. This subject fits the so called Ecological Art due to having the objective of informing events to the nature and encourage preservation. The work is made with figurative art to clarify the messages and alerts of what’s been happening to the fauna and flora. The attacks on nature always bring negative results that can reach an irreversible outcome, for example, the extinction of fauna specimens, as well as the desertification of considerable areas in the flora. All these works are designed to alert people of the damage nature has been suffering in order to change the attitudes of human beings and to cultivate the preservation behavior.
