Diving into 'Urban Mirage': An exclusive art podcast on ANASAEA
I am thrilled to share with you a unique experience: a podcast dedicated to my artwork 'Urban Mirage', available on ANASAEA, the avant-garde metaverse platform where I have the pleasure of serving as an ambassador. This 3-minute and 20-second podcast offers an immersive exploration of 'Urban Mirage', a part of my 'City Stream' collection.
Inspiration and creation
The inspiration for 'Urban Mirage' stems from a long-standing fascination with the contradictions of Manhattan—a place where architectural beauty coexists with urban chaos. I aimed to capture this duality using a variety of photographic and digital techniques. The process began with field photography sessions, capturing Manhattan at different times of the day to seize the city's light and atmospheric variability.
Back in the studio, I integrated these images through ICM techniques and digital painting, adding layers of glitch art to represent the constant digital flux that characterises our modern era. Each layer added was a reflection on how digital and real elements intertwine in our daily perception of urban spaces.
Techniques and artistry
'Urban Mirage' employs advanced techniques to create a visual dialogue between the viewer and the artwork. ICM photography captures movement and energy, while glitch art effects and layer superpositions offer depth and complexity that invite prolonged exploration. Digital painting, in particular, helps to enhance contrasts of light and shade, thereby strengthening the emotional impact of the scene.
Reception and reflection
With 'Urban Mirage', I hope to provoke reflection on our relationship with urban environments. Through this podcast on ANASAEA, listeners can not only see the artwork but also hear about the techniques and inspirations behind its creation. This adds a layer of interactivity and artistic education that enriches the viewer's experience, urging them to consider the links between art, technology, and urbanism.
I warmly invite you to listen to this podcast to appreciate every detail of 'Urban Mirage' and to understand the artistic discourse behind it.
