What Lies Under

Every non profit environmental organizations may use this artwork, contact me for a higher resolution image.

Update: Someone informed me about Jim Warren's painting "Don't mess with mother nature"
Although I never saw it when I came up with the idea behind "What lies under", Jim Warren's "Don't mess with mother nature" is indeed the first one that have this idea. You guys should checkout his work, he is an amazing artist.

  3. This is such a wonderful piece of art that so beautifully conveys this issue with plastic pollution. I saw it on Facebook with no attribution and wondered who had created it. It is stunning. Finally, Wojtek 'Voytec' Wacowski, posted it to Project Kaisei's Facebook page with the proper attribution, and now I am able to thank you for creating it.

    This piece is strikes everyone who sees it in some way, and it has gone viral on Facebook. Thank you for raising awareness!

  6. I love this pictures so much. I found this masterpiece on facebook, because I am so obsessed with this picture makes me to find out more about this picture and i ended up here. I don't have anything to say about this picture but picture speaks to itself and only thing I can say is that this is a MASTERPIECE. If there's something more than LOVE, I'll use that word to express my feeling to this MASTERPIECE.

  8. I like your picture. I hope it stimilates people into action about solving this problem. Plastics waste should not end up in the oceans. It should be collected and recycled as a raw material for the plastics industry.

  16. Just so you know, it's been shared over 32,000 times just under one person's post on Facebook (and there could have been others who independently posted it...so it could be many many more!)

    (See it on Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3150340838141&set=a.1790109233201.2103416.1253706154&type=1

    This is the perfect example of the saying "A picture speaks a thousand words." I am glad many people have been moved by your creative art. Keep up the awesome work!

  17. it's great! however, the concept is quite similar from the art of Livio Grossi (check the link: http://www.behance.net/livioG/frame/1837775)
    Anyways, it's awesome!

  21. Truly strikingly put.. As a big fan of the BBC Planet Earth, Life, Frozen Planet it makes me aware that I am too happily pleased with a pink clouded version of our beautiful world. I also want the cameras pointed in this direction to show the dangers of how we treat this same planet.. Time for these BBC money makers to spend some to make a Planet People series.. And this pic should be on the cover! Probably people wont buy it but governments should put it on the air anyway. Preferrably on a global Planet awareness day backed by all governments and organisations! If you please will send me a higher resolution picture I will happily spread it around! Thanks again, Robin James - robin@yogacara.nl

  23. Hello - I have never been so moved by an artist's painting - What lies beneath" has taken my breath away - I am now searching to find out where I can buy a print - just for me to savoir - I have travelled extensively and every beach or island I have walked on, I have always asked - "why are people so selfish and careless" - thank you for imortalising our irresponsible behavior as so called human beings.

  27. This is so inspiring! I had to check out the original artist as well. Your imagery creates such potent expressions in each of your pieces. I hope you noticed the Mediterranean becoming an ashtray by Italy as well. I am sure your beautiful mind can paint a comment on that as impressive. I especially loved the peek at the ocean wastes. Thank you so much for your work.

  29. What Lies Under is such a striking picture! It is particularly meaningful to my husband and I, given the recent publication of his book The Sand Dollar. Rizkiyanto's picture echos the message in The Sand Dollar. Some of the book's illustrations can be viewed at http://www.bellavistabooks.com/thesanddollar.html
