KOLANDA EARTH curates artwork using satellite imagery as an artistic medium. The process involves manipulating the bands of light reflectance to create abstract, artistic representations of the Earth’s natural features.
This piece is derived from satellite imagery captured over the mountains in the Swiss/Italy border. The snow on the mountain tops appears in neon yellow/green, while the mountain valley floors appears as purple with flecks and gradients of of blue. This is the result of visualizing shortwave infrared spectrums of reflect sunlight, which is typically not visible to the human eye.
THE PRODUCT:
The purchased art comes printed on matte paper with an uncoated finished along with a wooden frame which you can assemble easily. Once assembled, the artwork is protected within the frame by shatterproof plexiglass. You may hang the artwork using either the horizontal or vertical hanging hardware that comes already attached to the frame (note: The default orientation of your print when ordered will have true north upwards like your average map. If you choose to hang the artwork differently, the top will no longer point north). The frame thickness is 0.79".
