Hideaway digital artwork by Inga Nielsen - Science Fiction
 
Artist's Comment
This image became somewhat famous last week. It was the "Astronomy picture of the day"(20th of June 2006) and it has a funny story to tell :-)
Someone "stole" it, cut out my name, called it "sunset at the north pole" and told everyone it was a photograph (Visit my Homepage to read more).
Well... I did not intend to creat an earth landscape. It was meant to be something quiet and "balanced", a hideaway.
So enjoy and perhaps recognize :-)

So this is Artwork then.

The sort of thing that might be seen on the cover of a SciFi Magazine.

But the cover art on these mags has fallen into a predictable rut, they have become a boring uniform monotype. Basically they have become functionally indistinguishable.

But this picture is loads better than that.

This is a way out of the rut for SciFi Art.

The picture has also won the Holland Herald Photo competition (KLM in-flight magazine) for landscapes, as: "The picture shows the sun setting just below the moon at the North Pole."

Some stole it again apparently, entered the photo competition and won.

All I have to say is "wow." It's distant and serene, and yet realistic with the ambient ripples in the water and the thought put into the positions of the sun and the moon. You make me believe that it can be that way. The only thing I'm sort of confused about is the color of the sky with the sun still out, but I guess that's attributed to the fantastic part of it.

P.S. Sorry someone stole your artwork... I guess that's the sad part about being such a good artistic composer. Everyone wants what you've got.
