This is a painting of my daughter Sophie who studies astrophysics as a hobby, I wanted to show her love for science and the universe by surrounding her with patterns that look as if they are something from outer space. I used metallic acrylic paint for the patterns and oil paint for the figure, this was then allowed to dry thoroughly before I applied two layers of clear resin over the top. The resin gives the figure and skin a delicate ethereal appearance in contrast to the energetic bright patterns of the background that merge and encompass the figure.
