If I Could Paint The Environment?

I am not an artist and so quite incapable of producing any creative project in a physical form on my own, but I do can conjure up pictures in my mind and translate them into works of art that can be hung on any wall. I have always been a lover of nature. I spend a lot of time among hills and valleys where nature is at her pristine best. But lately, such locations are at a premium and the main reason for this sorry state of affairs is the depletion of the environment. I believe that the problem, the greatest single problem that humanity faces today is not anything that the politicians have us think. What is in question is our very existence on this earth, our very survival. Man has survived on this planet, even when the great dinosaurs had died out, become extinct. The instinct for survival is the strongest instinct in any living being. Man survived through the ages because of this and also using his superior intelligence and powers of adaptation. And now it is as if man is bereft of his powers of reasoning, it’s as if he has suddenly succumbed to a death-wish. It’s as if, like the lemmings of the tundra, he is hell bent on committing suicide en masse. If we go on in this crazy manner by the turn of the next century, mankind as specie will have become extinct. If we take preventive action with immediate effect and a long term perspective in view, we can arrest this problem now. But the tragic thing about it is the fact that there is only one group of people who can really help in this matter and those are the politicians. In a way, you cannot blame them. All their actions are governed by their tenure of five years sometimes even less in these times of political uncertainty. Their imagination refuses to stretch beyond this time limit, with the result that they cannot or are afraid to make any long-term decision. In the meantime humanity suffers. In spite of the warnings of experts, these politicians refuse to see the problem that is facing all living beings, for what it is. And in collusion with some greedy, grabbing industrialists, they are hell bent on destroying life, the most fragile, the most divine of all things on earth. The warnings of the experts are just scoffed at.
Before too long, our atmosphere will become piss and shit. Depletion of the Ozone layer will cause skin caner. It’s already evident in certain countries of the Northern Hemisphere. Millimeter by millimeter, the sea level is rising and cities lying along the sea - as most of them are - will be inundated, under water. Soon we’ll have to wear oxygen masks as if we are on a lunar landscape. The decimation of forests will bring down the oxygen level and the building of dams will release lethal doses of methane into the already dying environment. And the fact of the matter is that all these processes are under way NOW! And the world suffers in the meantime.
None can deny the fact the artists can help to make this change if he is conscientious enough. Now thanks to the progress in field of visual propagation of ideas, any novel method is widely talked about and intensely discussed. To this end I would do a lot of paintings. It shall be painted in loud, basic colors on large canvasses that can fill a wall like the frescoes of Renaissance Italy. I do not want to make these paintings seem sophisticated and so outside the ambit of the common man. But I shall endow them with enough artistic touch, so that they do not seem too prosaic or mediocre. I prefer the style of the great Spanish painter Salvatore Dali some of whose paintings have helped to make evil things seem shocking and thereby making them abhorrent and in very bad taste. I want to shock the conscience of the world with the kind paintings that would shake them out of their lethargies and wake up into action. I will try to make my works of art shown all across the world, exhibited in museums, universities, public squares and the like, where people has the tendency to flock in large numbers. I will use the good offices of institutions like the United Nations to make this effort worldwide.
I will also seek the help of artists around the globe by requesting them to come forward voluntarily and help in this great cause of maintaining this beautiful orange-blue planet as a haven of beauty and quite free from all those malignant miasmas that pervade the present day environment.
