Vija Celmins makes the infinite intimate ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In these works from the
#UBSArtCollection, the artist captures the quiet immensity of the cosmos, with stars and galaxies delicately rendered in graphite.

Inspired by man’s first steps on the moon in 1969, Celmins took a special interest in constellations and space, continuing her exploration of drawing through this subject.
