Moai – Original Oil Painting (1/1)

‘Moai’ by Jens Strandell is an intricate oil painting that bridges history and astronomy, exploring humanity’s connection to the cosmos.

The composition features the iconic Moai statues of Easter Island bathed in subtle moonlight, set against a vivid night sky dominated by the Orion constellation at its center. To the left, Taurus emerges among the stars, while Canis Major adorns the right. Celestial bodies including Betelgeuse, Rigel, Sirius, Aldebaran, and Mintaka glimmer across the sky, anchoring the scene in astronomical accuracy.

Blending Visionary Realism with celestial symbolism, the artwork captures a timeless dialogue between ancient monuments and the vast universe beyond.
