Galactic temple

January 2016
50x60 centimeters.
Acrylic over gesso over MDF wood.

A faraway galaxy as seen from a natural rock formation from a planet which orbits one of the outermost stars of the galactic disc.
All around it there it's just the blackness of intergalactic space.
I called it temple because it looks somewhat like a staircase that leads up to a shrine.
I liked the idea of the disk of the galaxy as some kind of luminous ceiling. I haven't seen it done before.
