In Still lifes, Avelino Sala takes us into the world of transgenic crops that monopolize the sources of raw materials for food. An example of this are large pharmaceutical companies such as Bayer, DuPont or Monsanto, which account for 80% of the market for transgenic plants. These companies also produce 60% of the pesticides and 23% of the commercial seeds, as well as fertilizers. These types of crops have been manipulated to replace widely used chemicals such as insecticides and herbicides
As the artist says it is "it is dead moss, but it has a living appearance"

The aesthetic —that also have a strong ethical— raised by Avelino Sala throughout his career articulate a discourse certainly personal, coherent, and yet complex in their readings and their looks.

The diversity of mechanisms employed and expressive languages, which include among others the video, sculpture, photography, neon, drawing or plural world of objects, keeps his (coherent) idea of art but at the same time complex on the diversity of views.
