Marine life in danger

Through my painting I want people to reflect again on oil leaks into the sea which is so common that we have normalized it.

The painting shows oil leaks into an underwater world filled with vibrant colors, life and beauty, threatening the peaceful and fragile lives of the magnificent marine animals. Some animals suffer and survive experiencing reduced growth, changes in heart, fin erosion, hindrance in their defense mechanisms or adaptation, etc. Many of them die. Unfortunately marine life is also affected by clean-up operations. Therefore ships, cargos, industrial activities and so on should adopt all possible measures to prevent these discharges into the aquatic ecosystem.
