In a deeply expressive visual piece, Ecuadorian artist Marcelo Chamorro surprises us with a silent artwork that speaks louder than words — a drawing that captures the existential struggle between man and nature, between urban expansion and the shrinking space for life.
🌿 In the midst of a cold, concrete forest of skyscrapers, stands a small tree in a pot, placed in a solitary green corner, lit as if the last light of life has settled there, the surrounding buildings lean and crowd in, as if about to consume what remains of nature, a scene that feels like both suffocation and siege.
The beauty of the illustration lies not only in its striking contrast between green and gray, but in its silent scream, its profound symbolism, reminding us that life needs just a small space to endure, despite its fragility, nature still finds a way to resist.
🌍 With his soft brush and dreamlike cartoon style, Marcelo doesn’t shout at the cities, he whispers into the human conscience: "If the color green disappears from our paintings, life will turn into nothing but gray shadows .. Don’t extinguish the last spark of hope .. Let trees have a place, they are the living memory of our planet".
