A Fusion of Art and Technology
As a digital artist exploring the intersection between technology and humanity, my work addresses global issues and inequalities, highlighting the "invisible aspects" of human experience through a lens of post-humanist concepts. My aim is to create a sense of wonder and curiosity that inspires viewers to critically examine their own lives and the world, ultimately contributing to positive social change.
My work blurs the boundaries between photography and digital painting, challenging conventional norms and dismantling perceptions to create something unique and authentic. It is a fusion of futurism, expressionism, and abstractionism, designed to transport viewers into imaginative realms.
I transmute various realities into abstract expressions, creating a visual language that speaks to the heart and mind. My transhuman series, for instance, reimagines traditional portraiture, transforming familiar faces into “tronies” reminiscent of the Dutch Golden Age, infused with a futuristic allure that speaks to our evolving relationship with technology.
My art is an ever-evolving experiment, offering fresh perspectives and novel insights into our world. By shedding light on pressing global crises and societal inequalities, I aim to awaken curiosity and wonder, compelling viewers to delve deeper into their own lives and the world around them.
