AcrylicDescription
"Musica Universalis" is a surreal piece where celestial bodies and gramophones blend harmoniously, creating a symphony of the universe. Centered in the painting is a gramophone holding the Earth instead of a record. Mini versions showcase Mars and Jupiter, creating a whimsical sense of scale and distance.
The floating islands with hanging grass and roots emphasize the scene's dreamlike and ethereal nature. The background transitions from a starry sky to a beautiful gradient of purple and orange hues, contrasting the technological and natural elements.
Inspired by the ancient philosophical concept of "Musica universalis," suggesting that celestial bodies move in harmony, creating inaudible music heard by the soul. This is represented by gramophones in space using planets as records. The art invites viewers to contemplate the universe's interconnectedness and explore the idea of celestial bodies emitting their unique hum, with the planets acting as records in a grand cosmic symphony.Try it!
