Not So Fast Original Art by Andreas Claussen
Mixed Media Painting
Framed 98cm x 68cm
From Claussen's playful "FLOOD" series, this painting captures a whimsical moment between an astronaut and their inflatable elephant pool float in a submerged world. Set against vibrant azure waters, the red-suited figure reclines on the grey elephant float, creating a striking contrast between the serious space gear and the playful pool toy.
Claussen's masterful technique is evident in the reflective quality of the water and the textural details of both the spacesuit and the inflatable float. His careful attention to light and shadow creates a piece that perfectly balances environmental commentary with lighthearted charm.
