Artist Statement

"Archipelago" is an artwork created last year and launched in NYC for my "Ephemeral Treasures" solo exhibition. To close out World Oceans Month, in collaboration with PangeaSeed Foundation, we are excited to release together this original artwork that represents the diverse wildlife in the different island archipelagos around the world.

As the main animal featured in the painting, an incredibly rare albino humpback whale is being converted into part of the archipelago and in turn, creating a place of refuge, or protected habitat, for all the birds and marine species. The viewer will also discover the souls of the lost animals, especially whales, flying in the sky reminding us what's at risk of being lost forever.

Artist Bio

As a child, Antonio Segura Donat (Dulk) helped his father to feed the birds they reared at their home. He loved watching the fledglings and seeing them grow, as well as the fish, dogs, and horses that lived on the property. When he wasn’t out and about, he copied illustrations of exotic animals that he found in his parents’ collection of old encyclopedias. And he took his sketchbook with him everywhere from then on. At the age of eighteen, a close friend persuaded him to tackle the walls of the city and suggested he take the pseudonym of Dulk. He then started a diploma in economics but dropped out in the first year to study illustration then graphic design at the University of Valencia. Today, Dulk is an all-purpose artist. Between urban art, drawing, painting, sculpture, or advertisement, each médium is a challenge that he takes up with pleasure and determination. He has participated in many group shows around the world in cities such as Vancouver, Miami, New York, Brussels, Paris, or Chicago. Always looking at things from the same innocent viewpoint that he is so fond of, that of a child, the artist creates tragi-comic animal-themed works in organic colors. His world is a surrealistic landscape full of imaginary details, rising up in factions against humans. Maybe they want to warn us of Earth’s bleak future following an environmental catastrophe.
