Astronaut

from US$250.00

An astronaut with the face of a Saint has landed on the Moon. This is a Fine Art Print of an original hand-cut paper collage by the artist Aleksandra Mir.

The new artwork combines source materials from antique religious and modern scientific imagery into a new physical and fantastical reality. The collage combines an iconic NASA Apollo-era photograph with a Renaissance-era painting. Both the Renaissance church and NASA's space programme represent the greatest collective ambitions of their respective ages — one reaching toward God, the other toward the cosmos. Both demanded total devotion, sacrifice, and the marshalling of the finest human minds and resources of their time. Both produced objects of transcendent beauty in the process. The saint and the astronaut are mirror images across five centuries.

By placing one inside the other, the work asks: have we simply replaced one form of devotion with another? Or were they always the same impulse — the human need to reach beyond the known world toward something greater than ourselves? The contrast between the technical, industrial spacesuit and the serene, almost meditative expression of the painterly saint’s face is quietly profound. It suggests innocence, wonder, or perhaps the inner life behind great human endeavour.

Giclée pigment ink on Hahnemühle German Etching paper results in a superior quality print with exceptional detail, vibrant color accuracy, and long-term durability. The fresh print reproduces an aged authentic patina and the imprint of the artist’s hand-crafted marks.
