This piece features Mars (or Ares), the Roman god and his planetary namesake. He was the god of war and agriculture. The month of March (Martilius) is named for him. Although his Greek equivalent is the well-known and well-hated Ares, Mars was seen as a less destructive force to the Romans, and one which focused more on military gains rather than chaos for the sake of chaos.

Mars is part five of my Milky Way series, in which I personify the celestial bodies in our solar system.

This piece was crafted by me with a 0.1 mm technical pen on Bristol paper. The print you will receive is meticulously crafted and a perfectly rendered reproduction made with archival inks on heavy-weight paper.
