AD ASTRA is a tribute to Virgo Fidelis. Respecting the shapes of the original bassorilievo, this artwork wants to convey the love that a mother has for her child.
The background made with a mosaic of Ebru papers, underlines the shapes and the lines of the main subject where some details, such as the stars and the flame of the lantern, are created directly with the water painting technique.
A veil of gold in the background gives an aspect of sacredness to the artwork.
