Photorealistic Ocean Artwork

This Maldives Drawings Series Calls for Climate Change Awareness

— June 8, 2014 — Art & Design
If you've always dreamed of making it all the way to the pristine Maldives for the holiday of a lifetime -- with its beautifully stretched-out sunny day and lapping blue waves -- then treat yourself to the second best alternative: a large-scale photorealistic Maldives drawings series.

Known for her incredible landscape and pastel artwork, artist Zaria Forman does it again, but this times she leaves the ice-filled peaks of Greenland behind and takes on the gently frothy waves of the azure blue waters of the Maldives.

Spending a month in the nature-filled haven, Forman worked on her Maldives drawings series because she was both inspired and worried by the rising sea levels there -- Maldives is the lowest-lying country in the world -- due to climate change.
Trend Themes
1. Photorealistic Artwork - The trend of creating hyper-realistic artwork provides opportunities for artists to raise awareness and inspire action on various social and environmental issues.
2. Climate Change Awareness - The increasing concern about climate change presents businesses with opportunities to develop innovative solutions and products that address environmental sustainability.
3. Nature-inspired Art - The trend of artists drawing inspiration from nature allows for the creation of visually stunning artwork that brings attention to the beauty and fragility of our natural world.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - The art and design industry can leverage photorealistic artwork to create impactful messages about current social and environmental issues, driving engagement and awareness.
2. Tourism and Travel - The tourism and travel industry can explore partnerships with artists to create immersive experiences that provide an alternative way of experiencing destinations and raise awareness about their environmental challenges.
3. Environmental Conservation - The field of environmental conservation can use photorealistic artwork to communicate the urgency of preserving fragile ecosystems and drive support for conservation efforts.
