About The Artwork
The work is a part of "The Lost Planet" series dedicated to the environmental problems and climate change issues. It was made by using a special layering technique that allows to combine together acrylic paints and resin with a variety of materials such as fermented moss and sand from the coast line of the Maldives. As conceived by the artist, the piece reflects the part of the ecosystem of a coral reef in Maldives, paying attention to the problem of the extinction of marine flora and fauna near the coast. The problem of disappearing of coral reefs and entire marine ecosystem is a center of Kapchuk’s artistic research. She highlights the value of coral reefs which are a life line for sea life. Increasing ocean temperatures as a part of a global warming process is a huge threat to corals and big marine community. It is very possible that we can loose most of our coral reefs by 2050 as a result of climate change. With over 25 per cent of all marine species living in coral reefs and about 850 million people directly benefiting from their economic, social and cultural services, the loss of these reefs would be catastrophic. The work presented in limited edition of 1 piece.

Natalia Kapchuk is a Russian-born London-based artist. She works in mixed media, exploring ecological issues, global effects of pollution as well as protection of the environment. The artist’s main interests are the life on this planet, biodiversity of various countries, continents and vast expanses of oceans – the theme that never fails to inspire and spurs one to search for new expressive means and experiment in media, such as wood, resi-crete, plastic, glass bits and metallic grit, natural stones, crystals, diamond dust and gold leaf. Natalia Kapchuk travels a lot around the world getting inspired by natural beauty to emphasize global environmental problems and negative impact of industrial waste. In the art project titled «The Lost Planet» she highlights such issues as environmental damage and critical amounts of plastic waste in the waters of the world's ocean. In order to contrast natural materials (such as tree bark, sand, natural stones, crystals, fermented moss) and enhance the effect, Kapchuk experiments with industrial materials like polymers and resi-crete, diamond dust, gilding, metal chips and plastic. As a philanthropist and an art ambassador of the Parliamentary Society of Arts, Fashion and Sport (UK) Natalia Kapchuk keeps drawing attention to important environmental issues affecting the future of our planet, and seeks to promote harmonious coexistence of humans in every corner of the world.
