Artwork Description:

This is oil and acrylic painting on high quality linen and custom made canvas. The style is defined by sculptural use of paint. It is 3-D, built-up mixture of many layers of thick gesso, paint, sand and other materials. I m inspired by the structure of Saturn s Moons. This one was inspired by the surface of the satellite called Titan. It is the largest moon of Saturn and the second-largest natural satellite in the Solar System. It is the only moon known to have a dense atmosphere. It is the second-largest moon in the Solar System after Jupiter s moon Ganymede, and is larger than the planet Mercury, but only 40 as massive. Discovered in 1655 by the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens, Titan was the first known moon of Saturn, and the sixth known planetary satellite after Earth s moon and the four Galilean moons of Jupiter. Titan is primarily composed of ice and rocky material. The thick atmosphere is orange due to a dense organonitrogen haze. The name Titan, and the names of all seven satellites of Saturn then known, came from John Herschel in his 1847 publication. He suggested the names of the mythological Titans, brothers and sisters of Cronus, the Greek Saturn. In Greek mythology, the Titans were a race of powerful deities, descendants of Gaia and Uranus, that ruled during the legendary Golden Age. Finished with a glaze of UV varnish to protect against sunlight and dust damage. The colors may look a little bit different depending on the screen. This artwork is signed and dated on the back. A signed Certificate Of Authenticity will be included with the artwork. Edges are painted so it doesn t require any frame.
