The tiger and the monkey: Plastic series IV
Year:
2021
🌱🦩The Plastic Nature series aims to raise environmental awareness by representing animals turned into helium balloons in imaginary and wild places under the concept: "plastic should not be the only animal that inhabits our lagoons"
The work represents a realistic jungle enclave that contrasts with plastic animal-shaped balloons: a monkey, a lizard and a helium tiger. Specially the development of the tiger has started from the study of a real tiger to later turn it into a helium balloon.
I have tried to achieve a feeling of abundance and vegetation in the scene.Taking advantage of the uncovered linen canvas background.
