Nano Reefs - 9 (2020)Relief by Swapna Namboodiri

'Let's make corals colorful again'
Due to Global warming, half of the great barrier reef has died since 2016. This ecosystem collapse can lead to devastating effects on our planet.
Every small action from each individual count. I chose to contribute through my art. Took the pledge to reduce the plastic trash by converting it into a piece of art and spread the word.
A unique mixed media wall sculptural artwork, done on canvas with a beautiful texture of painted upcycled plastic bottles. This artwork is inspired by a close up macro shot of Ricordea Corals.
Project - 'For the planet' :
Recycled artworks I started doing since 3 years, after a pledge to work for a greener planet. All the plastic bottles with different textures are upcycled to get unique textures on my artworks. I decided to work with oceanlife theme, since they are most affected due to plastic pollution. In each of my works, the texture is individually cut and painted from discarded plastic bottles. Its my way of saving our planet. So buying one of my original works from this series, you are not only supporting art but also supporting a good cause.
The artwork is done on canvas and the texture which is 100% made from upcycled plastic trash, is assembled on to it. The art will come framed. It will be signed on front and certificate of authenticity will be attached.
