La pintura expresionista como medio artístico representativo del extractivismo y su impacto en el ámbito socio-ecológico

Abstract

The present investigation called "Expressionist painting as an artistic medium representative of extractivism and its impact on the socio-ecological field". It deals with how the theme of extractivism silently attacks the ecosystem in a national context. Painting, being considered as one more language of the human being, has all its branches, an expression, a syntax and even an essence. It is used to mold our being by managing thoughts, opinions and attitudes, in the same way that specifically expressionist painting does, representing the distorted, subjective and deformed reality with dyes of feelings or opinions. In reference to the subject of the study, it is considered that in the Ecuadorian territory there are different communities, especially in the Amazon, which coexist against their will with machinery or zones which serve to exploit raw materials, covered with the argument of being controlled in a safe way. However, the way in which the lack of interest of the society in the Ecuadorian jungle is treated is very ambiguous and in a certain way little debated, this same lack of interest can lead to irreversible consequences, such as the erosion of the jungle, the cracking of the soil, the contamination of water, etc. Extractivism as a model of economy is questionable in the sense of case-effect, being an activity which benefits us now, we do not think about the long-term changes and even the consequences that

may exist at the territorial level. The way in which the community does not observe the long-term evil is overwhelming, since they do not use reasoning in the right way by letting pass so unnoticed an issue that concerns us all as a country and as human beings. From the information obtained from different methods of inquiry, such as reading and data collection, expressionist painting was fully considered as a representative medium for the artistic object, pertinently complying with features that revolve around this research. The way in which we seek to represent extractivism within this project serves as an inspiration and an invitation to reflection for the aforementioned initiative, in order to demonstrate how these ideals and art are related to project a timely message. As far as the elaboration of this research is concerned, the process that the artistic work has undergone will be defined, such as the graphic approaches, the production, the final edition and conclusions.
