The blood of the sea
Sea blood is not bright red.
Like the blood of men.
Dark red, brown and no more oxygen.
Reddish brown, if you try to observe it, then it changes shape and color, it becomes dark, gloomy.
Black, coagulated by death.
Blood of men killed by the ferocity of other men.
Blood of men left to die by the inference of the living.
Lifeblood destroyed by plastic whaler, slave traders.
Corpses that obscure the transparency of the seabed.
Blood of progress that crushes everything.
Black as oil from dark ships.
Silvery like pyramids, symbols of lost civilizations and theorems of advanced civilizations.
Silvery like the mercury that silently kills.
The color of the sea has mixtures of blood and mammals, of marble statues emerging from the abyss, of wreckage from the past, of sad signs of the future.
It is the color that we wanted, for ever and ever, painted by our madness, by our ambitions.
The same ambition that led Ahab to death, with everyone.
The blood of the sea must have the color of the sea!
Blue, with the oxygen of life.
A hug and a scream.
Armando
this is our final result
Il sangue del mare
Il sangue del mare non è rosso acceso.
Come il sangue degli uomini.
Rosso scuro, marrone e senza più ossigeno.
Marrone rossastro, se provi a osservarlo, poi cambia forma e colore, diventa scuro, tetro.
Nero, coagulato dalla morte.
Sangue di uomini uccisi dalla ferocia di altri uomini.
Sangue di uomini lasciati morire dall'indifferenza dei vivi.
Linfa vitale distrutta da baleniere di plastica, da mercanti di schiavi.
Cadaveri che offuscano le trasparenze dei fondali.
Sangue di un progresso che tritura tutto.
Nero come il petrolio di oscure navi.
Argenteo come piramidi, simboli di civiltà perdute e teoremi di civiltà avanzate.
Argenteo come il mercurio che uccide in silenzio
Il colore del mare ha impasti di sangue e mammiferi, di statue di marmo che emergono dagli abissi, di rottami del passato, di tristi segnali del futuro.
E' il colore che abbiamo voluto, nei secoli dei secoli, dipinto dalle nostre pazzie, dalle nostre ambizioni.
La stessa ambizione che portò Achab alla morte, con tutti.
Il sangue del mare deve avere il colore del mare!
Blu, con l'ossigeno della vita.
Un abbraccio ed un urlo.

Such a powerful painting, Armando .... Blood of the sea... Hmm, I supposed its colours isn't like our blood and so its agonies are not as visible to our eyes too, but I can feel a lot of powerful emotions from your drawing, with the sea bleeding in its own colours, coloured by the madness of mankind's atrocities....

I share with you a phrase from a Portuguese poem from Fernando Pessoa
"...God placed danger and the abyss in the sea,
But he also made it heaven’s mirror.”
thank you for comment and phrase by Pessoa.
Es un dibujo grandioso donde plasmas un mar tormentoso, donde los veleros peces están revueltos y la agresividad del mar se revela. buena técnica en acuarelas felicitaciones amigo.@armandosodano
