All existing photos of planets are well-known to experts and those who are engaged in the theme. This painting series has been drawn specially for the subsequent manufacturing of a series of photos. The canvases were photographed with the special optics giving softness and spacey quality. As advanced user of Adobe Photoshop, I see it drawbacks and that's why I decided to create new photographs of planets in my own analogous-painting way. However, they are not the planets of the Solar system; they are some absolutely new planets for everybody. They come from the brain, my personal galaxy as there is my own nano-space there.
