PLANETARY

This current collection (not including the lunar paintings), was inspired while reading six books by Italian Theoretical Cosmologist Carlo Rovelli. Mr. Rovelli dedicates his life with other theorists and scientists, to advance a theory unifying ‘general relativity' and ‘quantum physics’ called “Loop Quantum Gravity” (LQG).

This theory posits, like all things in our universe, "spacetime" is itself "granular;" made of irreducible particles at the "Planck Scale" (a billion, billion times smaller than atoms). In that way, spacetime is gravity, and gravity is spacetime.

Mr. Sanni entitles his current collection of work, “The Planets and LQG." To describe this theory artistically, he shows our planets 'immersed' in the LQG theory by treating each background with “brushstrokes of spacetime." This also reveals the darker "gravity well" around each planetary mass.
