This highlight of the Art for Artemis project is from a team of students at the Forsbergs Advertising School in Stockholm, Sweden. As usual, scroll below for a quick interview with one of the students:

What school are you studying at and what degree?

Hi! The four of us, myself Ziba Artystone, Filip Fernström, Måns Rydh, and Edvard Norman, are students of Forsbergs Advertising School in Stockholm, Sweden. I am a copywriter and my three amazing design-teammates are in the graphic design program.

What inspired you to make the artwork?

While doing our research for the ART for ARTemis project we wanted to incorporate an element of time-lapse, community and collaboration, whilst altogether inspire whoever sees our piece, and thus hopefully the younger generation of future space explorers.

Our main inspiration for developing our artwork was Hieronymus Bosch’s painting The Garden of Earthly Delights.

Through the chaos of his paintings there’s also a sense of unified movement and hopefully we’ve managed to capture that in our Artemis artwork. We wanted to instil hope and show that one task cannot be accomplished without the other parties involved in actual space exploration. We call it “The Space-tale of Tomorrow”.

 Tell us about the technique used to make your Art for Artemis piece

We started sketching the overall concept together, and everything that would entail, meaning what details were important and the ’feeling’ we wanted to capture and communicate. Then we built up the background and environment in Illustrator. Detailed work was done on Procreate on iPad and vectorised: the astronauts, robots and the Artemis construction itself.

Do you have any thoughts to share about the Moon and human spaceflight?

We are all beyond excited to follow the next group of lunar-explorers set for 2024, and are thrilled to have been a part of this experience together with ESA. Uncharted territory will always be the main source for our curiosity as humans, and suffice to say, we are inspired!
