Mars

With SpaceX's Starship becoming a reality—something I follow closely—I wanted to capture its significance in an oil painting. Since all of Alain's paintings include the GPS coordinates of their subject, and this piece depicts a Mars base with multiple rockets, I kept the tradition by setting the GPS coordinates to zero.

My vision features four rockets, one of them taking off, with the sun appearing smaller, more like a moon, and the sky taking on a muted blue-gray hue. The Mars station includes fuel storage containers, solar panels, and a domed greenhouse illuminated by blue and red lights to support plant growth for oxygen production.
