Barack Obama Astronomy Painting

The idea for the painting "The Star of Mr Barack Obama" came while I watched his oath ceremony as President of the United States. His speech and his style were full of optimism, will and certainty for the program that he intends to apply for the solution of various problems.

It was an optimistic speech in the current difficult period. It was a message for the solution of many problems, economic derotation and return to the previous situation as well as a meesage for peace and fraternization between the countries.

A message very positive and optimistic. Ideal one would say but that what all want. A hope for tomorrow. Hope that all will be corrected because he has the will and the power to do it. A certainty and safety as well a optimistic feeling for the future.

This precisely was the reason that I wanted to paint him. To express in the painting this symbol that constitutes ideals, dreams and hope for millions of people.

This magnificent vision that should be achieved by an individual, I believe that it corresponds to the greatness of the universe.

Enough power and courage is necessary in order to make the dreams real.

It needs a far-reaching and open mind connected with of all the humanitarian values and ideally in order to listen to the needs of people and to apply the right and peace in this planet.

This symbol I thought was to connect it with the birth of Mr.Barack Obama. Birth for something new. A new idea. A new ideal. A hope. Each birth is a new hope for life.

Studying the astronomical charts I found stars and places of planets that I would say characterize his personality.

The star that is in the centre of the painting is the star that rose in the horizon of Honolulu in Hawaii (his birthplace) on 4th August 1961 and hour 19.24 p.m. The work is inspired from pebbles that I have found in the birthplace of the Goddess Aphrodite. All stars and planets are represented in this way.

These pebbles have been "painted" by nature and their forms are like a microcosm. Because we do not know exactly how these distant stars look they are represented with these pebbles. I believe that it is an effort to reach them with the imagination and to learn this distant worlds.

The combination of these stars with the places of planets in the painting I believe gives a sample of the uniqueness of Mr Barack Obama like of course each person in general.
