Cosmic Dawn Print

What/who inspired the work? The work is inspired by the vast and mysterious beauty of the cosmos. The endless expanse of space, the shimmering stars, and the captivating surfaces of distant planets have always fascinated me. This painting seeks to capture a glimpse of that awe-inspiring universe, blending reality with imagination. What do you hope its viewers will feel/think? I hope viewers feel a sense of wonder and curiosity when they see this painting. The vastness of space often evokes feelings of both insignificance and profound connection to the universe. I want viewers to ponder the mysteries of the cosmos and perhaps feel inspired to explore their own creativity and curiosity about the universe. Why did you choose the medium, subject matter, style? Medium: I chose acrylic paints because of their versatility and vibrant colors. Acrylics allow for a range of techniques, from smooth blending to textured, impasto effects, which are perfect for depicting the varied and dynamic surfaces of celestial bodies. Subject Matter: The subject matter, focusing on a planet and the surrounding stars, was chosen to highlight the beauty and mystery of space. It's a theme that resonates deeply with many people, tapping into our innate desire to explore and understand the unknown. Style: The style blends elements of abstract realism and sci-fi art. This combination allows for a creative interpretation of space while maintaining some realistic elements that ground the viewer. The abstract aspects, like the starburst effect and textured surface, add a unique and imaginative touch to the piece. By blending these elements, I aimed to create a visually engaging and thought-provoking work that invites viewers to immerse themselves in the wonders of the cosmos.
