My work is called the “Pearl of the Ocean” - this is a huge Octopus that holds our planet in its tentacles, which reflects our future. The octopus with its tentacle divides the picture into two parts: on the one hand, carbon dioxide, which escaped from the bowels of the earth in the ocean and in its path mercilessly ruins all living creatures (I painted whales, as they are beautiful, but unfortunately endangered animals); on the other hand, people built an underwater city and live peacefully with sea creatures (I painted dolphins because they are friendly to people and will notice our presence in their home). The total size of my work: 280,05 cm in height and 234,06 cm in width, it is painted with acrylic paints. The picture consists of an Octopus (cut out of plywood) and a round planet (cut out of glass).
