Artwork: Moon Men (2025)
Futuristic, large-scale figures inspired by space exploration. Initially developed in collaboration with artist friends. Each figure symbolizes forward-thinking and the human drive to explore the unknown. Ranging in size from 18 inches to over 30 feet, Moon Men have been exhibited worldwide — from London and Oslo to Australia and Washington, D.C. The piece presented at Solaris Galaxy Park & Museum is part of this evolving project, blending art, design, and industrial precision to celebrate imagination, scale, and space-age aesthetics.
