EuroSpaceHub by Pietro Pizzi

Description

Pietro Pizzi is the 1st award winner of our EuroSpaceHub Vintage Space Collage Contest.

This work I chose to submit for the EuroSpaceHub contest represent my idea of vintage imagery. The two compositions are a variation of the same theme, where the protagonist is a vintage car. Just as cars once stood for new technologies, so space exploration is a symbol of the power of progress in our present era. The images are a metaphor for the journey that will take the next generations to new discoveries in Space. In the first one, the Earth in the background represents the connection that will always bind humans to their planet. In the second one, the background of a galaxy represents the distant destinations that are waiting for us and the desire to discover new worlds.

This year’s call focuses on the topic of Vintage Space Art. Each artist is asked to produce a digital artwork inspired by the retro imagery of Vintage Space Collage and Space Art of the 1960s-90s, which is characterized by dreamy and often surreal atmospheres.

“The objective is to increase collaborations, valorization of tech transfer and leverage startup projects with access to networks.”

The European Innovation Ecosystem to digitally connect the Space Academic, Research, Industry and Startups to leverage Innovation Together.

EuroSpaceHub aims to connect digitally the space ecosystem in Europe, from tech transfer offices to industry, space accelerator networks, research centres, and other universities. The project will allow these actors to easily connect with financial opportunities from the Horizon Europe framework, the venture capital programme, and the InnovFin initiative. EuroSpaceHub will bridge the gap between academic institutions and industry using a collaborative mindset and entrepreneurship programmes inside the universities connected through tech transfer offices.

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
