The four elements of Nature - I

As in other series of paintings, this work represents the relationship between Man and nature through the philosophical, scientific and technological understanding that he has of the four elements of nature (earth, fire, water and air).

In the area that represents the earth I approached mother nature and the human correlation between this element and its use through technology.

The fire area shows the evolution between the domain of this element and the domain of the atom.

In the area related to water, I included some shells on printed circuit boards representing part of our marine food also provided by technology. The moon was placed inside a drop of water to relate it to the strong influence it has on the oceans.

In the representative area of ​​the air I placed dancers valuing the celestial bodies, sun and moon and worshiping the mother Gaia, the planet Earth.

Above the four areas is the Earth's dome.

All elements of the frame are framed by printed circuit boards and RAM memory sticks, to reinforce the concept of unstructured technological development that caused the current ecological deadlock, as the exact sciences are more valued because it have provided material comfort, to the detriment of the human sciences, which seek sustainable development in harmony with the planet.
