Jupiter's Playground

After my first visit to the local planetarium that elaborated on the recent discoveries of the planet Jupiter, I was infatuated. I was completely infatuated with what I learned about the beautiful gas giant. I told everyone around me about the changing notion of Jupiter`s planetary behavior, elemental composition, and interactions within the Solar System. Completely infatuated with the idea that we can make new and profound discoveries within our own Solar System that completely alters our perception of our galactic knowledge, I had to visualize. Immediately I began painting using both playful and strategic approaches to my depiction of this infatuating planet. During my painting process, I reflected a lot on the curiosity of humans, and how we have these interests and feel like there is no option but to pursue them.
