Star Cavern Painting

For the viewer, this painting replicates the visceral response of the artist's first experience in observing the stars at the age of 7. The nebula skirting the edges of the painting is representative of the veil that everyday life puts in the way of observing the stars. Here it can be seen parting to expose the stars at the core. This gives the viewer the experience of seeing stars for the first time. It is these deeply moving junctures in the lives of many people including prolific scientists, that have inspired their pursuit of the stars and in doing so, furthering the human race. ----------------------------------- From the Artist: The first time I remember looking and contemplating the stars I was 7. I stood in awe of the amazing sight. I had so many questions, and it has driven my fascination with them ever since. What is so intriguing about the stars is that each time I observe them, I am suddenly 7 years old again, standing on the lawn at my childhood home, in the middle of England with my dad, carefully holding his heavy 70's binoculars that smelt like new books and Old Spice cologne. I was recently reminded of this beautiful moment when listening to an interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson. Who was describing when he first saw the stars come out at the planetarium at 9 years old. He thought it was a hoax. Growing up in the Bronx, he'd never seen the stars before due to light pollution. Hearing stories such as these affirm my mission to produce images of space. Simply knowing that there are many people in the world who have never seen the stars in their full glory and have had the opportunity to contemplate and be moved by them, is a great travesty. The stars shine for everyone and with their vision our souls may be inspired to greater things.
