Fly over the Moon

This striking monochromatic artwork features a sleek commercial airplane soaring gracefully through a night sky, juxtaposed against a magnificent crescent moon. The aircraft is adorned with the Swiss flag, lending an air of authenticity and nostalgia. Surrounding the plane are several fighter jets, leaving trails as they capture a sense of dynamic movement against the serene lunar landscape. The composition captures a dramatic interplay between tranquility and action, evoking feelings of adventure and exploration while invoking thoughts of travel and modernity. The contrast of the dark sky and luminous moon forms a captivating backdrop that draws the viewer's eye to the central elements of flight and contrast in styles.

This artwork can be effectively displayed in contemporary living spaces, such as a modern lounge or aviation-themed room. Its striking visuals make it suitable for personal offices or workspaces, inspiring a sense of ambition and adventure. Furthermore, it would complement any aviation enthusiast's collection, serving as an inspiring conversation piece.

The story behind it: This illustration is made up of 2 of my images. One is the moon, taken on one of my Harley Davidson rides on Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles. The other is the image of this proud Swiss aircraft patrolled by the Patrouille Suisse, taken at Air Payerne 2014, which was held in Switzerland. During my time in lockdown, like many other people on planet Earth, I had the urge to be free again and to travel without restrictions. Suddenly I had an inspiration and started to draw a small sketch and corresponding pictures in my archive. Since I love black and white photography, it was clear to me from the beginning that this illustration will be black and white, because I believe that the imagery is stronger, because the human eye focuses only on the objects and the story in the picture and is not distracted by colors. In the end, a series of 3 images emerged, which I called Fly over the Moon. Christian Redermayer Be unique with your artwork
