About the artwork

This painting presents a fascinating depiction of the earth in the vast universe. It is a visual homage to our home floating amidst the infinite expanses of the cosmos.
The earth itself is reminiscent here of a "spherical garden in the sky". This poetic description conveys a sense of the vibrancy and diversity on our planet. It is an invitation to recognise and appreciate the beauty of the earth.

The central focus of the painting is the earth itself, depicted as a small globe. Despite its small size, the earth radiates a certain presence and importance. Its round, green body contrasts with the bright and powerful light behind it, which is reminiscent of a solar eclipse, but also speaks to the fragility and importance of our planet.

This bright light surrounding the earth gives the painting an almost divine quality. It could be interpreted as a metaphor for the uniqueness and life on our planet. The solar eclipse or earth eclipse depicted here is a rare and fascinating cosmic moment that emphasises the connection between the earth and the sun. However, when the earth itself is in shadow, as symbolised here, it is time for action for a better world.

The depiction of the earth in the universe reminds us of our tiny position in the cosmos and at the same time of the importance our planet has for our life and existence. It is an image that invites us to reflect on our place in the universe, to know the beauty and health of the earth and to feel the responsibility to protect and preserve our planet and its resources.
