This is the series of works that provided the name of the exhibition. It comes from then incredulity of visitors upon seeing my new series, enquiring if the new works would be NFT’s as well. They were not.

Galactic Paintings

A series of paintings from a time far far ago. A mix of futurism and nostalgia makes these works so interesting.
