"SaveaPlanet". Curator's Note | People And Paintings

Painting allegories using other species lead me to think and bend my emotions toward environmental realities. The deeper I got into the theme, the more personal it became as I used my family in the storytelling. From what I understand, the world will notice dedication to thematic bodies of work.

On the way to making objects, it's essential to figure out how they benefit the world. Personally have been tithing 10% of my profits from my Turtle Series to environmental organizations.

My advice to the artist is to pick a theme as a self-imposed assignment; you'll know if it's the right one because you'll feel more confident the more work you do. Think of this contest as a start and create a series of environmental cautionary tales. Save a Planet There's Only Seven Left.
