Enter the star-filled world of Slovak artist Petra Kostova

Slovak artist Petra Kostova creates swirling galaxies from millions of tiny dots.

Now based in Copenhagen, Kostova uses technical ink pens to build up waves of dots in a delicate process known as stippling. Each dot varies in size and intensity, with the artist’s smallest pen measuring just 0.1mm thick.

Kostrova says she finds the time-consuming process “meditative and extremely satisfying”. “I am endlessly inspired by natural landscapes, waves, geometric shapes, and most of all space, stars and galaxies”, she says.
