Life on Mars is not an abstraction for abstraction's sake. It is a question. An imagination. An attempt to paint something no one has ever seen with their own eyes.
In this work, I imagine what life on Mars could look like. Not the life of rovers and dust storms, but organic life. Forms that grow, breathe, spread across an unknown surface. Alien green creeping over cosmic pink. Mars red breaking through. Atmosphere blue hangs quietly, like a thin layer of air above a planet that might not be as desolate as we think.
The impasto technique here is not a stylistic choice, it's a statement. This work has weight. Texture. Relief. It's not flat, just as the question behind the work isn't.
The inspiration comes from two sides. From NASA and the human urge to go beyond what we know. And from David Bowie, who in 1971 already asked what we still don't know: Is there life on Mars?
