Le artificial sculptures, placed in an underwater environment, they can facilitate the proliferation of aquatic species, up to the creation of real ones coral reefs, that find space on the rocky surfaces introduced in places where they would not have been present naturally.
Artistic ambitions and interest in marine biodiversity are therefore the key points around which the sculptural works created by Jason DeCaires Taylor, which has now positioned numerous along the seabed of the Mexican coasts. They would be now over 400, including the stone reproduction of a old beetle, which seems to be particularly loved by small fish, sponges and algae.
On it, as on the other sculptures, they find space seaweed, corals, sponges, starfish, tunicates and other small marine organisms. On the sculptures made of concrete, marine species can find their home. These coral reefs that are formed from an artificial input contribute to the creation of new attractions for divers, who would be so intrigued by them that they would learn to avoid more delicate areas, characterized by the presence of completely natural coral reefs in need of protection.
The presence of the sculptures would prove particularly favorable in the case of corals, which would not be able to give life to the marvelous ones coral reefs that we know without the aid of solid surfaces, and therefore in the case in which there are seabeds not characterized by the presence of underwater reefs.
The sculptures created by the artist constitute a real canvas that is painted by marine creatures, enriching it with colors and luminous reflections, creating a truly amazing spectacle for all diving enthusiasts who have had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the waters in which they are present. At the Under Water Sculpture di Jason DeCaires Taylor A website has been dedicated where you can admire all his works.
