Description:
Scars of the Green Planet reflects the irreversible wounds inflicted upon our Earth through human carelessness and environmental neglect. In this expressive composition, fiery tones rise in the distance while the remnants of once-living trees stand as silent witnesses to destruction. The swirling blues evoke both water and smoke — elements that should sustain life, now caught in turmoil.
Laura Bernardeschi Nelson uses rich oil pastels to convey texture, movement, and emotion. Each line and color seems to vibrate with tension between life and loss. The work invites reflection on how our collective actions leave deep marks on nature — marks that may one day become permanent scars on the planet we call home.
Framed, varnished, and signed on both sides, this artwork is both a visual statement and a heartfelt plea for awareness and change.
