Space has always been like a huge canvas for our imagination. It’s filled with wonders that have made people want to create art about it for a very long time. From cave paintings that showed the stars and the sky, to amazing photographs from the James Webb Space Telescope, space has always inspired people.
Space art is special because it takes us on adventures far away from Earth. It shows us the huge, beautiful universe with pictures of far-off galaxies and big space storms. This kind of art isn’t just about getting space to look right; it makes us feel something, gets us curious, and fires up our imagination. It’s like a bridge that connects what we know and what we can only dream of.
We’ve picked 11 space artworks, including from our own LoveSpaceArt collection.
Whether you like the strange look of far-away planets, the soft beauty of nebulae, or the bright lights of galaxies, we’ll help you take a trip through space. We hope this collection sparks your curiosity, makes you want to learn more, and helps you see the beauty in the universe.
Galaxy space art
Galaxies are some of the most fascinating things in space, like huge cities of stars, dust, and gas, all held together by gravity. Let’s dive into some cool facts about how galaxies are formed, perfect for curious minds and future astronomers.
Galactic Spiral Symphony
This realistic depiction of a spiral arm galaxy is a reminder of our own Milky Way.
Not all galaxies look the same. There are spiral galaxies, like our Milky Way, that have long arms swirling around a bright centre. Then there are elliptical galaxies, which are more round and don’t have spirals. Some galaxies are even shaped like irregular blobs without a defined shape. The way a galaxy looks can tell us about its life story and how it was formed.
Vortex of Chromatic Dreams
Lose yourself in this abstract galaxy masterpiece that captures the boundless beauty of the cosmos.
Galaxies can grow by merging with other galaxies. This might sound a bit violent, but it’s a natural part of their life. When galaxies come close enough, their gravity can pull them together, and they start to combine. This can make them bigger and sometimes change their shape.

Much of retro space art was inspired by science fiction from that time. Magazines, books, and movies depicted vivid visions of the future, with sleek spaceships, distant planets, and advanced alien civilizations. Artists brought these visions to life, combining scientific ideas with their creative imagination.
The art often featured bold colours, dramatic perspectives, and stylized depictions of rockets, astronauts, and extraterrestrial landscapes. It mirrored the public’s fascination with what the future of space exploration might hold, blending hopeful aspirations with a touch of fantasy.

Cyberpunk space art
Cyberpunk space art is a fusion of cyberpunk aesthetics with the vast and mysterious realm of outer space, creating a genre that’s both futuristic and deeply rooted in the themes of high-tech and low-life.
This blend offers a unique perspective on space, not as the final frontier of exploration and discovery, but as a backdrop for stories of survival, technology, and dystopian futures.

Cyberpunk originated in the early 1980s with works by authors like William Gibson, Bruce Sterling, and Philip K. Dick. These stories were set in near-future worlds where society was significantly influenced by rapid technological advancements, cybernetics, and a stark divide between the powerful and the powerless.
As cyberpunk evolved from literature to movies and video games, its distinct visual style began to influence artists. This style is characterised by neon lights, sprawling urban landscapes, and a blend of futuristic tech with gritty urban environments. When these visual elements are combined with the concept of space, it creates the cyberpunk space art genre.

Abstract space art
Abstract space art is a genre that explores the cosmos through the lens of abstraction, focusing on the emotional and conceptual aspects of space rather than literal representations.
This approach allows artists to convey the vastness, mystery, and beauty of the universe in ways that go beyond the visual accuracy of stars, planets, and galaxies.

While abstract art as a movement began in the early 20th century, its application to space themes emerged later, as humanity’s understanding and interest in the cosmos grew. Artists began to see space as a subject ripe for abstract interpretation, using colour, form, and texture to evoke the ineffable qualities of the universe.

The advent of space exploration in the mid-20th century, particularly the first images of Earth from space and the moon landings, had a profound impact on artists. This era provided new perspectives on the universe, inspiring abstract artists to explore themes of cosmic scale, isolation, and the unknown.

Kids space art
Kids themed space art is a vibrant and engaging genre that combines the wonder of space with elements designed to captivate and inspire young minds. This type of art is tailored to be accessible and appealing to children, incorporating bright colours, imaginative scenes, and educational content.
Stellar Dreams
One of my all-time favourites, Stellar Dreams tells the story of a young-girl looking toward the stars.
The history of kids themed space art can be traced back to educational materials produced as early as the space race era when governments and educators aimed to spark interest in science and space exploration among the younger generations. Illustrated books, posters, and school programs often featured space themes designed to educate and excite.
As space exploration missions captured public interest, children’s media—ranging from cartoons and movies to video games—began incorporating space themes more frequently. These representations made the concept of space more accessible and engaging for kids, blending entertainment with educational value.
Lunar Play Dreams
