Technology has indeed become a significant part of our modern life. Thanks to the Internet, people can stay updated with the development pace around the world. Electrical devices such as televisions, computers, phones have proved themselves to be helpful and important to human life.
While I agree that life has been easier in this modern world, I don't think 'modernity' comes without problems. Internet and social network are making people more selfish, careless, and more negative. Other downsides of technology that should be listed are the lack of physical interactions and the addiction to smartphones. Society is losing its values, and what's more, there are a bunch of issues modern life brings about, including war, climate change, political corruption, etc. Artist Marco Melgrati hopes to illustrate all of them through his abstract drawings.
He is a freelance illustrator from Milan, Italy. Working mostly for magazines and newspapers, the artist can easily update on the controversial problems that are facing our planet. Through his illustrations, he wants to speak them out and help to raise people's awareness about these issues. Let's scroll down and take some time to enjoy!
