Modern and Eco Art!

We would like to discover to you one of the most original ideas that we have heard about in the last days: modern art that is at the same time ecological!

It means that everything is possible and the artist Jason de Caires Taylor has demonstrated it’s true. He has managed to join the art with the ecology creating the first submarine park of sculpture; his purpose: to announce the importance of understanding and protecting our planet.

We can already visit the sculptures in several corners of the planet, always in crystalline and not very deep waters, in order that the scuba divers and the “Glass Bottom” ships could discover them with facility and estimate the evolution of the marine life.

Look at the sculpture that we show you, known as: “The Gardener of Hope”, a young girl lying on garden patio steps, cultivating a variety of plant pots. The young Girl symbolizes a new, revitalized kinship with the environment, a role model for future generations. The sculpture is in Cancun’s National Park, just 4 meters of depth, and in it, already live many types of marine animals and a great variety of algae and coral.
