“Cosmos in Blue” – Triptych Oil Painting

Cosmos in Blue is a large-scale triptych by Baltazar Castellano Melo that connects the human body to the universe. Split across three vertical panels, the figure stretches from head to toe, surrounded by deep blue skies filled with stars. Inside the chest, we see organs, bones, and lungs painted like constellations. The hands reach out at the center, while the red-toned legs seem to walk across a glowing horizon. The painting mixes anatomy with space, grounding the physical body in something much larger. Each section is balanced with careful detail and movement, inviting viewers to see the human form not just as biology, but as part of a wider system. Cosmos in Blue is both intimate and expansive — a quiet meditation on where we belong.
