We are destroying the Earth—of that there is no doubt. Big Oil denies it, as does a good part of the establishment, but the world responds with record-breaking heat waves, dogs splashing in water where they should be walking on ice, hungry polar bears, and of course, dead people. Some artists have turned their vision into a form of protest, a call to reflection and to the need for urgent change. Willy Verginer is one of them.
Oceans covered in plastic. Oil spills that kill everything they touch. Obsolete industries that pollute and sicken the population. And only one planet. Clearly, the gravity of the situation has yet to click in the minds of our leaders, who cannot even agree on a pact that experts already consider insufficient.

Everyone can do their part to fight this, and Willy Verginer speaks through his art. Almost all of his works seem stained, contaminated. Animals, children, plastic, oil barrels. Green clashing with black. Provocation and message in every piece, and an impressive use of wood as a medium, with thirty years of experience behind him. If you want to see more, don't hesitate to visit his official website and his Instagram profile.
