LANGUAGE: SLO | ENG
Title: Soul Nebula (W5)
Technique: Oil on canvas
Object Name: Soul Nebula – W5
Distance: 6,500 light-years
Viewing Direction: Constellation Cassiopeia
This artwork depicts a segment of W5, also known as the Soul Nebula, located approximately 6,500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia. The entire nebula spans an area of the sky equivalent to four full moons and contains vast cavity-like structures carved out by the radiation and stellar winds of massive young stars.
Through glowing shades of red and green, the artist captures the complex choreography of cosmic birth—a fusion of destruction and creation. The painting conveys the layered beauty of W5’s structure, where clouds of gas and dust swirl, collapse, and reignite, symbolizing the endless cycle of stellar life within one of the galaxy’s most magnificent stellar nurseries.
