THE STORY
Mark Castle is a London-based artist who uses traditional oil painting and astronomical materials, like meteorite dust, to explore the vastness of space. In this piece, Castle paints with oil made from rare Martian meteorite dust. These meteorites, once part of Mars’ surface, were ejected into space by asteroid impacts and later crashed on Earth, connecting his work to the extraordinary journey of these cosmic materials.
