The works from the Star Cloud series focus on bright regions cropped from along the Milky Way arm, using the European Southern Observatory’s panorama as a focal map. The works are painted in a realistic style, producing a natural representation of the cosmos, however due to the nature of space, the result can often seem free of reference and subject matter, blurring the line between representation and abstraction. This piece focuses on a region in the constellation Cygnus, the swan. In Greek mythology, Zeus transformed himself into a swan to seduce Leda. The five brightest stars make up the recognisable Northern Cross asterism.
