The painting project “One of 430,000 Atmospheres” investigates the frontier of contemporary space exploration, specifically focusing on the 2023–2026 epoch. This period has yielded groundbreaking discoveries through the deep-space scanning capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), Euclid, and the Parker Solar Probe.

These expansive studies have culminated in a catalog of over 430,000 galaxies, identified through the synergy of artificial intelligence and precise spectroscopic measurements of cosmic velocities.

In this project, I attempted to break away from the generally accepted understanding of how our planet is structured, with its gravity, atmospheric, and various physical or chemical phenomena. I also attempted to imagine how these elements might exist on other planets, under completely different conditions of formation and subsequent interaction between their elements.

Executed as large-scale oil paintings on canvas, the works utilize a rigorous multi-layer technique, with some individual pieces requiring over a year of sustained labor to complete.

From 2023 till the present day…
