Earthling is an alien from planet Earth.

The oil painting portrays a baby floating in the vastness of outer space, positioned at the center of the composition. The baby is depicted wearing a space helmet, which is connected to a backpack filled with live plants. The presence of the backpack filled with plants suggests a symbiotic relationship between the baby and nature, emphasizing the importance of environmental sustainability even in the vastness of space. The baby is depicted breathing through a pipe that connects the space helmet to the backpack, symbolizing the interconnectedness between humans and the natural world. The painting evokes a sense of wonder, innocence, and the potential for harmony between humanity and the universe.

Quote:

"We all are or eventually be 'the Spacebaby'."

-Lena Applebaum 

Biography:

Lena Applebaum, a British artist-painter based in London, UK, focuses on expressive portraits of children in outer space, with the signature character being the 'Spacebaby' – portraying babies as little superheroes symbolizing adventure, youth, and mystery.

The central theme in Lena Applebaum's work revolves around the universal journey we all take from the innocence of childhood to the exploration of adulthood. Through her depictions of children, she strives to capture the emotions and experiences of growing up.

Having studied fine art and holding a degree in Architecture from Westminster University, London, England, the artist's passion for creating sizable artworks is rooted in her academic background.

Her paintings are distinguished by bright colors, expressive brushwork, and a playful aesthetic. Lena Applebaum's artworks have been exhibited in public galleries and private collections across the United Kingdom, USA, France, Germany, Spain, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Switzerland.
