Space art is a term that refers to artistic imagery depicting outer space:
solar systems, stars, nebulae, planets, galaxies and other space matter of the universe.
Space art dates back to 1865 when Emile Bayard and A. de Neuvill illustrated Jules Verne's novel, "From the Earth to the Moon". Those were the first space illustrations based on scientific facts. Later, Chesley Bonestell's (aka Father of Modern Space Art) realistic space renderings proved to be of major influence in the field. However, it was first after the launch of Sputnik in 1957 that space art and astronomical illustration really took off. Popular books like Arthur C. Clarke's "Exploration of Space" also helped promote the genre. When I first started doing space images, back in the mid 1990s, my main source of inspiration was what I found on the internet at the time, which was the fabulous space art of Joe Tucciarone and Bob Eggelton. Their colorful, imaginative and captivating space worlds still evoke feelings of awe and a sense of being transported into the world they illustrate. I learned a great deal from these artists by studying and enjoying their artworks. Later I discovered the space art of Mark A. Garlick whose work I also admire especially for his subtle attention to color and details in general. This space gallery shows my depictions of the matter outside of our planet. I use a variety of techniques and digital tools, both 2D and 3D to create the pictures. Some of these images have been used in a BBC TV documentary about the universe. Space posters, wallpapers, and framed prints are available for most images. |
