Music From the Heart

This piece blends the personas of music legends Sting, David Bowie, and Elton John with themes of space exploration, portraying them as astronauts. The backdrop features lyrics from their iconic songs - “Walking on the Moon”, “Space Oddity” and “Rocket Man” - that evoke feelings of exploration, isolation, and identity.

Bowie's ethereal wings symbolize his transcendent influence, while armed cherubs introduce a juxtaposition of protection and innocence, suggesting a safeguarding of artistic legacy.

The artwork celebrates the immense cultural contributions of these artists, merging their storied careers with an adventurous, cosmic theme.

At the centre, a red heart adds an emotional depth, symbolizing love, passion, and human connection - key elements in the music of Sting, Bowie, and Elton John.

Within the astronaut narrative, the heart suggests that despite the vastness of space and the artists' unique journeys, love and emotional expression are universal and enduring.

This imagery highlights that while they reach for the stars, their music revolves around the shared human experience, emphasizing connections that transcend physical and metaphorical boundaries.

The piece is a vivid reminder of the artists' profound impact on music and culture, rooted in deep emotional experiences from the heart.
