Venus. Dawn in the Solar System, 2013. Oil, 60 × 80

Venus is the second inner planet of the Solar System. Thick clouds of sulfuric acid create a “greenhouse effect”
on the planet. Giant hurricanes rage there and one can hardly see the surface of the planet through the thick
red and orange clouds. The impact craters we see in the painting are rather rare elements of the Venusian
landscape. The craters are filled with lava.
