Few creatures on Earth are as enigmatic as the octopus. With their ability to camouflage instantly, solve complex puzzles, and squeeze through the tiniest openings, they often seem more like beings from another world than inhabitants of our oceans. In fact, some scientists have even speculated that octopuses could have extraterrestrial origins, pointing to their unique genetic makeup and incredible intelligence as evidence of an otherworldly lineage.
My digital artwork, Alien Octopus, takes this idea to the next level—presenting this mesmerising cephalopod as a glowing cosmic traveler. Its hypnotic patterns and bioluminescent aura reimagine it as a celestial being, a life form we would marvel at and protect if it truly arrived from space.
This piece is part of my Alien Animals digital artwork series, where I explore how Earth’s most unusual creatures would be revered if they were discovered as extraterrestrial life.
