Rhea

This is acrylic and oil 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 Rhea. is the second-largest moon of Saturn and the ninth-largest moon in the Solar System. It was discovered in 1672 by Giovanni Domenico Cassini. The surface of Rhea is an icy body. Rhea is named after the Titan Rhea of Greek mythology, the "mother of the gods".
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" x 36" x 1.6"
