Artwork Explained: Horoscope

This week we are dropping the captivating Horoscope apparel range. This captivating watercolour and mandala design was created with love exclusively for Lunafide by the talented Rob Cook. Rob created the perfect balance and depth in this design. The galaxies look deeper which gives the optical illusion of the mandala pattern work floating above the galaxy artwork. 

Rob is a highly talented watercolor/mandala artist from the United Kingdom, Rob says that he has loved art from a very young age and has always been obsessed with tiny details and drawing super precisely. He says that he spent years doodling patterns aimlessly until he finally discovered mandalas in 2016 and was finally able to give a name to his skillset.

After that the delightful Rob was completely addicted to drawing Mandalas! Other than mandalas Rob also loves creating watercolor landscapes and galaxies! He says that he is obsessed with anything and everything related to Astrology. Rob also states that he is always trying to find ways of combining all of his passions into cohesive pieces and this is how Rob's incredible signature and unique style developed.

This design is predominantly inspired by the 12 star signs of the Zodiac calendar. These signs include, Aries the Ram, Taurus the bull, Gemini the Twins, Cancer the Crab, Leo the Lion, Virgo the Virgin, Libra-balance, Scorpius the Scorpion, Sagittarius the Archer, Capricornus the Goat, Aquarius the Water Bearer and Pisces the Fish. 

The Zodiac in Astronomy and Astrology is a belt around the heaves that extends on either side of the plane of the Earths orbit and the sun's annual path. The orbits of the moon and the main planets also lie entirely within the zodiac. The 12 astrological signs of the zodiac are each considered to occupy one twelfth of its circle. 

These signs may be popularly known for it's correlation to Horoscope.The horoscope is an astrological diagram that represents the positions of these Signs the Sun, Moon and planet's astrological aspects and angles at the time of an event, such as the moment of a person's birth.

We hope you love this one!
