ABOUT WORK: This is abstract painting on high quality linen and custom made canvas. I'm currently creating a new series of paintings about solar system. I'm inspired by the structure of Jupiter's Moons. This one was inspired by the surface of the satellite called Metis. Metis is tidally locked to Jupiter, and its shape is strongly asymmetrical, with one of the diameters being almost twice as large as the smallest one. It is also one of the two moons known to orbit Jupiter in less than the length of Jupiter's day, the other being Adrastea. It was officially named after the mythological Metis, a Titaness who was the first wife of Zeus. The surface of Metis is heavily cratered, dark, and appears to be reddish in color. I very much enjoyed painting process, because it gave me a lot of room to experiment. I also discovered some new features of materials that I used. It is mixed-media painting in heavy impasto with iridescent acrylic paints, gesso, plastic, sand and shingles. 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. An artwork is signed on the back. Original title is written on the back. A signed Certificate Of Authenticity will be included with the artwork.
