Project Title: "Marine Paradise"

Materials: Cardboard box, napkin paper, colored paper, paper sheets (used notebooks), wooden sticks, water-based paint, brushes, homemade glue, scissors. All materials used are biodegradable.

Description:

With the help of mommy and daddy we cut out the cardboard box, place the glue around the box to place the napkin paper, paint with brushes or fingers with small touches we give color with blue, green and black to decorate the seabed. To make the whale with the notebook paper we make an oval to give it shape, we cut out a fin and with the homemade glue we place pieces of paper, let it dry and give it several coats of black and white paint.

We draw different types of fish and paint and cut out colored paper to make the algae and wooden sticks. We put it together with our creativity. I was inspired by the greatness of the sea and marine biology. In the sea there is a great richness, a great biodiversity.

Project Title: "Marine Recycling".

Materials: wooden board, wires, soda cans, paint, brushes, glue, cardboard.

Description: The work is a composition of fish made of soda cans on a wooden board, wire was used to give the sensation that they are swimming and the board to simulate the seabed. At home we have many materials that we normally discard. We can give a second chance to many of them by recycling them and changing their use. In my case I made a sculpture to decorate my house with soda cans and some pieces of wood. Not all objects are trash, many of them are very useful at home or at school. Recycling allows us to help heal our planet from so much pollution and the bad use we give to some things. By recycling we not only have a better planet but a healthier and cleaner one that allows us to live for much longer, it also helps our economy. In my family now everyone wants me to make a sculpture like this to decorate their house, I can see a good business on vacations. Take care of yourself and remember to recycle, reuse and reduce the impact on your planet and your life.

Project Title: "Abstraction of Color".

Description: This work is nothing more than a reflection of the benefits we can obtain from materials that can be recycled or reused. Materials such as cardboard for the most part, some pallets, magazine paper, markers and watercolors and even in the latter by mixing primary colors to obtain secondary colors such as gray, pink, purple, brown and orange. Taking into account the benefits obtained from recycling, this work is one of them; we can make the most of them and make wonderful, creative and ingenious works that somehow can be part of a museum of works based on recycling and at the same time contribute to our environment that needs it so much, avoiding pollution.

Recycling and reusing are of great importance because they allow us to make a rational use of natural resources, especially non-renewable ones; which translates into their preservation, the protection of the environment and the reduction of pollution; representing a sustainable and sustainable ecological model.

Project Title: "EDAI".

Description: In the first place, we have the name of the same "EDAI", which in Pemón language means "I am" and here we have the first message of this work, the life of nature proclaiming itself as a living being, as part of our environment and being as capable of feeling and suffering as us. This leads us to the second message when we see the face coming out of the vegetation, this being a symbolism of her awakening and her uprising to stop the abuses committed against her person. 

On the other hand the work seeks to showcase the qualities of nature representing its beauty and colors through the branches covered with different flowers, and a small detail in their eyes which have a color differentiation in their iris being this as a case of heterochromia, which is considered an imperfection  in the system, but still is still considered beautiful. It is also a homemade germinator, which is used for a bean or seed to sprout roots to be later transplanted into the ground or a pot, thus helping to care for and conserve this beautiful and living nature.
