"Hunting The Ocean" by Mia Wang, Age 17, New Zealand

Image 16 of 34

The theme of this painting is coral and ocean pollution. What I want to express in this painting is that many marine creatures and marine plants have been polluted by people's plundering and occupation of the ocean after many years. Many plants and animals have become different from before because of pollution. For this painting I try to use the marker and illustration style to reflect my theme, also I want to let everyone know from this painting that ocean pollution is terrible and unfair for marine animals and plants.
