One of the reasons why the artist from Caires was chosen for the Underwater Museum project is his fascination with the marine world.
From a very young age exploring the reefs was his passion, a passion that he turned into an art and a profession.
In this way, the proposal of the Underwater Museum of Art is to create an eco-friendly space with the marine environment in beautiful Cancun; In what way? Simple; The 16 underwater rooms of the Underwater Museum function as a home for countless marine species, as well as for the exponential growth of reefs.
On the other hand, the concept in the sculptures of the Underwater Museum is: Sustainable materials, that is, materials that are not an obstacle for the marine population.
In fact, many of the sculptures have holes of different sizes, for different marine species.
The Underwater Museum of Art is a clear example that art can be responsible and committed to the environment.
As well as a solution to the problems that human societies have caused in the fragile ecosystems of the Earth.
Not to mention that it is mystical to see the mutation that the sculptures undergo when being embraced by marine life.
Being colonized by amazing coral reefs that give them that exceptional touch that only nature achieves.
