Artonaut #18

Continues Mark Rox’s cult series, where the visual language of street art intersects with themes of space and the future. In this work, the artist deliberately combines two incompatible elements: an astronaut and a bicycle. Within a space devoid of gravity and conventional movement, the bicycle becomes an absurd, almost useless object. This impossibility is precisely the conceptual core of the piece. The work explores the collision between human memory and a futuristic environment: the bicycle functions as a symbol of earthly experience, childhood and freedom, while the astronaut embodies the unknown, technology and the desire to move beyond reality.

The painting is executed in acrylic with UV-reactive pigments. Under ultraviolet light, the work reveals an additional layer of color and hidden details. The piece is also activated in augmented reality through the app.
