The oceans represent the element responsible for producing 50% of the oxygen we breathe. Today they are polluted, with changes in pH associated with the increase in global temperature, and there are floating islands of plastic. Microplastics are disseminated throughout the fish food chain. This series is exclusively aimed at this situation, the ocean, plastic, pollution and species extinction. I used a combination of similar colors from the chromatic circle, almost all of which, with the exception of white.

My name is Antonio Bernardino Martins Coelho, I am from a small village in the north of Portugal, where I live. I am 39 years old, married and father of two girls. I work as an electrical engineer. A taste for painting was evident in me early on, but it was only in 2010 after a trip to Cuba that I became interested in photography, having captured a lot of images. However, having a small digital camera, I started to acquire analog equipment and develop the photography learning activity in a self-taught way, using very old and medium format machines. My favorite camera is the Zeiss Ikon Nettar.
