St. Petroleum, 2014

1,6m x 3m

Digital Painting

St. Petroleum deals with the topic of oil production at sea and the consequences of destruction when accidents happen. Burning plattforms, leaking valves and sinking ships lead to oil-covered animals and vegetation that suffocate and die. Beautiful colored coral reefs turn into death zones. The work, adapting the structure of a stainded-glass window, calls into question the priorization of the oil industry over nature.
