Call René (787)717-6053 or visit art-for-collection.com Theme: "Vieques amado" Augusto Marín shows his concern as a Puerto Rican for the struggle of the people of Vieques In this art, Marin denounces the destruction of health and livelihood of Vieques inhabitants. And also makes a firm stand against the massive pollution of the ecological resources of the island's environment. All this mayhem is the result of the long lasting aggressive warfare destruction practices of the USA Navy. For the decades of their possession of Vieques the USA Navy used the land and sea for training live target practices. As the tragic culmination of this imposed presence, in the year 1999, one live bomb was misfired and killed "viequense" security guard David Sanes. By looking closely at the details that compose the image, you will detect, the profiles of two Elephant heads facing against each other. This is a symbol of the Republican Party's double sided nature of its political practices at that time.The human figure shown, represents the "viequenses" engulfed in despair, in response to devastation effects of radiation and other contaminants that have caused cancer in the inhabitants of the island. By the lower center of the image the word BOOM is showed in a distorted manner illustrating the devastating effect of the violent fatal detonations that periodically impacted the surroundings. In juxtaposition to the word BOOM the artist invokes his hope creating an idealized figure of a Hummingbird as the symbol of the unrelenting force of Nature, that won’t be defeated. This is a masterful creation. A dramatic and effective artistic proposal in defense, of the people and land that Marin held close to his heart. The island of Vieques was finally liberated in 2001 when the Navy' operations finally ended as the result of decades of struggle by the Puerto Rico’s conscientious citizens and liberal organizations. leer menos
