La pintura como señal preventiva de la contaminacion del estero huayla de puerto bolivar

Abstract

This research is based on the problem that exists in many places, which would be the contamination of the Huayla Estuary, but one of the estuaries that is most contaminated is specified in a very interesting place, which is in the Machala canton, located in the parish of Puerto Bolívar. Despite the way people live now, many are not aware of what is happening in the urban areas or neighborhoods where they live, and there are many signs that the Huayla Estuary is rapidly contaminated, and for this, the solution to the problem is sought in many ways. The following research that was given in the process is how people who live in the parish of Puerto Bolívar become aware of reducing the contamination of this Huayla Estuary. To do this, the general objective is to relate and investigate a search for information in different web media, magazines or other people who give their opinion on pollution since it is also a global problem in humanity, such as solid waste or residue, waste water, fishing boats, waste in general, which damage and dirty the Huayla estuary. The problem of excessive pollution that exists not only in the Huayla estuaries but in many bodies of water such as lakes that can be used as dumps for substances or other toxic pollutants, there are also rivers that are bodies of water with extensive arms that can reach open seas such as the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, and the oceans themselves that are the vital source of water for humanity since people live with water, otherwise they would not live, in this situation it has generated enough devastation in people such as health, which is essential for human beings, since water is used to do housework or drink water, which is vital for each person. Not only human life is going through this situation, but also marine beings or marine species that live in the seas, lakes, rivers and in the Huayla estuary itself, since species can 4 live with water and cannot breathe air, and many species would be lost, such as fish, since they are the number one commercialization of artisanal fishing by fishing boats, and they obtain profits from these species as human consumption, and also turtles are a very important species on land like others that live in the sea. For this reason, the research carried out in this degree work is taken into account since they are important for future generations. In the artistic work it would be of the painting type since it generates a branch with more connectivity for the research that has been given, as based on several well-known artistic references, such as sculptors who make sculptures with plastic waste, and others that are related to the composition of colors and styles of landscapes with the ocean and the sea. The painting refers to the Huayla estuary in Puerto Bolívar, as well as the houses that are built near these bodies of water, and the solid and plastic waste caused by people who are not aware that water is life. It also refers to the seabed where the beings and inhabitants that live in these waters are located, such as fish, shrimp, turtles, jellyfish, among other marine species. This work has the majority of the painting made up of 2 canvases to create one, in the upper part is the Huayla estuary with the houses, and in the lower part is the seabed with the species that live in the water, it also has some plastic waste that people normally throw, dump or throw into these bodies of water. With this artistic proposal, the community of Puerto Bolívar is expected to make itself understood and express how they are living today and to make known how to solve this global problem, and change the situation by doing a good artistic and exemplary work to minimize pollution and raise awareness of the marine life of the Huayla estuary.
