In this painting, we see an astronaut who had to dive under the water to take a selfie with the Statue of Liberty. This painting is one of the saddest and most ironic in the “The Last Astronaut” series. It shows that even the most famous and symbolic monuments of humanity did not withstand the elements and became part of the underwater world.
The Statue of Liberty is one of the most recognizable symbols of America and freedom in general. It was a gift from France to the USA in 1886 as a sign of friendship and respect. It represents a woman holding a torch in her hand, illuminating the way to freedom, and in the other hand - a tablet with the date of independence of the USA. The Statue of Liberty became a place where millions of immigrants arrived, seeking a new life in America. It became a symbol of hope and dream for many people.
But in this painting, we see that the Statue of Liberty no longer shines with a torch, but is buried under water. This means that the freedom that it symbolized is also lost. The world in which people lived no longer exists. Instead, we see a world where water covers most of the land, and life is impossible without a spacesuit. This world resembles the legendary Atlantis - an ancient and powerful civilization that, according to legend, sank under water because of its pride and recklessness.
The astronaut who takes a selfie with the Statue of Liberty looks like a tourist who visits an attraction. But this is not just entertainment - this is an attempt to preserve the memory of the past, of what was once great and important. This is also a way to express his attitude to what happened to the world. Maybe it’s sarcasm, maybe it’s sadness, maybe it’s nostalgia. Each viewer can interpret this gesture in their own way.
This painting makes us think about how we relate to our planet and to our freedom. It shows that we can lose what we take for granted, if we do not cherish and value it. It also shows that even in the most hopeless situations, a person can preserve his humanity and his sense of humor. It is both a warning and a praise of the human spirit.

My name is Anastasiia Novitskaya. I was born in Ukraine. I have had a passion for drawing since childhood. All the time I was in search of myself. I was not interested in listening lectures, so I drew sketches in my notebooks. In 2014 I started studying oil painting in the Kyiv Art Gallery where I drew my first paintings.
In 2015 I moved to Poland, where I devoted myself entirely to art. I studied contemporary art and met local artists. During this period, I got acquainted with new techniques in painting. I opened my own cafe in Krakow, this was one of the first places where my paintings were shown.
In 2022 I moved to Genoa, Italy. This greatly influenced my paintings, I learned to convey the feeling of being near the sea. My sunsets have become sensual and brighter.
I love to experiment, to observe, to discover new aspects of familiar things. I am constantly searching for myself, my place in this world. Simple words can not convey all the nuances of emotions and experiences. Art for me - is a way to transfer feelings. It is what connect us together and takes communication to the next level - the emotional level.
I believe that art is the way to express the inexpressible.
