Many people have lived a lifetime but have not lived to understand, and some people have long understood what the meaning of life is, and how to live a valuable life. When you are randomly throwing garbage to pollute the environment, someone is relentlessly picking up garbage, and from this point of view alone, it is clear who is more valuable.
The artist Bordallo from Portugal is the one who picks up the garbage, and using the garbage to create works of art has become the artist's most well-known label, of course, this is a positive label, Boldaro is reluctant to take it off, and even hopes that more people will remember this label.
In his view, the more people know his title of environmental protection artist, the more people will contribute to the ecological environment. The more people see his sculptures made out of garbage, the more people will have self-reflection.
Nowadays, environmental problems have become a very serious social problem, and we often hear or see slogans such as "protecting the environment, everyone has the responsibility", the slogan is understood by everyone, but it is often difficult to implement to a specific person. The higher and higher piles of garbage are squeezing the living space of humans, animals and plants. In pursuit of economic growth, we are using future resources too quickly, turning them into garbage, waste, and pollution.
Has anyone reflected on this question? How is waste recycled? It's a group of people like the artist Bordallo who have been working on the direction.
Bordallo is a public sculpture artist who creates many wonderful urban sculptures from recycled materials, and we can see complex discarded materials such as tires, car bumpers, door panels, children's old toys, etc. on any of his sculptures, which are put aside a pile of tattered old things, and in Boldaro's hands, they become giant sculptures.
Animal sculpture is Bordaro's most common subject, and in his opinion, it is more relevant to integrate environmental protection with animals, including sculptures of endangered wild animals. The artist used his professionalism and sense of mission to create public sculptures, bringing the audience the enjoyment of beauty, but also stimulating the audience's attention to natural and ecological environment issues, and promoting people's thinking about how human behavior affects the fauna.
Next, let's take a look at the artist's giant animal sculptures created from discarded garbage. Hopefully, you can read the profound meaning of each work.
