Save the Planet | 40 x 30 in. | Acrylic on canvas. | Original Panting By Alexander Franco.

Curatorial Review:In this vivid and imaginative composition, an astronaut cradling Earth becomes a universal symbol of responsibility, wonder, and urgency. The contrast between the protective suit and the fragile blue orb evokes both isolation and intimacy—reminding us that even in the vastness of space, our home is irreplaceable. Bursting with dynamic color and surreal energy, this piece challenges viewers to reconsider the role of humanity not as conqueror, but as guardian. Artist Statement:This painting was born from a question: if we could hold the Earth in our arms, would we treat it differently? I chose the figure of the astronaut to express both distance and hope—a being who has seen the planet from afar, and understands its beauty and fragility. The colors represent life, chaos, and transformation. This piece is a call to awaken, protect, and remember what truly matters.
