Salacia

This is oil 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 structure of celestial bodies. This one was inspired by surface of Salacia. It is a trans-Neptunian object in the Kuiper belt Salacia was discovered on 22 September 2004 at the Palomar Observatory in California, United States. Salacia orbits the Sun at an average distance that is slightly greater than that of Pluto. It was named after the Roman goddess of salt water Salacia and has a single known moon Actaea.
I have used various techniques to create a highly textured abstract piece. It is mixed-media painting in heavy impasto with oil 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. 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.
Size: 120 H 100 W x 4 cm 47.2" x 35.9" x 1.6"
