About this artwork
This artwork by Benny Arte reimagines the iconic scene from Georges Méliès' film "A Trip to the Moon" with a contemporary and playful twist. The artist depicts a humanized moon struck by a rocket, in a surreal and expressive composition. The surprising and humorous element is the presence of a character inspired by Snoopy, dressed as an astronaut, riding the rocket. The contrast between the retro-futuristic feel of the moon and the pop character adds a unique dimension. The textured background in brown and gray tones enhances the cosmic atmosphere, with vibrant details that bring energy to the scene.
