Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and Earth’s neighbor in the solar system. It is called the “red planet,” but in reality it appears more ochre in color due to the iron oxide on its surface. The planet has mountains, valleys, inactive volcanoes, sand dunes, and polar caps that resemble those of Earth. Mars has two moons.
Each celestial body is unique in its color and composition — just like we humans, a reflection of the infinite variation within our nature. The painting is inspired by images from the Hope space probe.
