Artist Statement: "Metamorphic Synthesis: A Fusion of Painting and Digital art "
In the realm where the tangible meets the virtual, emerges a groundbreaking exploration at the intersection of traditional studio art, digital creation, and augmented reality. This artistic endeavor is a journey that commences with the strokes of a paintbrush on canvas, only to undergo a radical transformation as it converges with the limitless possibilities of the digital realm.
At its core, "Metamorphic Synthesis" begins as a traditional painting, a canvas and paint exploring the beauty and grotesque, and depicts a moment of disaster accentuating the drip in a portrait of a woman . The physicality of brush on canvas sets the stage for an immersive experience that transcends the boundaries of conventional art. Yet, it is in the digital crucible of Blender that this two-dimensional masterpiece undergoes a metamorphosis into a three-dimensional work.
The process unfolds as the painted canvas is meticulously scanned and projected onto a virtual 3-D model of a head crafted within the intricate digital landscape of Blender. The sculpting process in this virtual realm breathes life into the static canvas, transforming it into a dynamic and intangible entity. The marriage of the traditional and the digital becomes palpable as the essence of the painted strokes converges with the malleability of the sculpted form, creating an abstraction.
However, the narrative of "Metamorphic Synthesis" does not end there. The 3-D model, now an embodiment of abstraction, takes on a life of its own through animation. A surreal dance unfolds as the once-static form appears to liquefy and drip, defying the constraints of physical reality. This animated metamorphosis introduces an element of temporal fluidity, inviting viewers to witness the artwork in a perpetual state of transformation. The malleability of the three-dimensional form with the painted skin that is abstracted creates even more of a grotesque feel to this work.
The culmination of this artistic odyssey extends beyond the traditional confines of the studio, delving into the realm of augmented reality. Viewers are invited to immerse themselves in an interactive experience where the boundaries between the tangible and the virtual dissolve. Through augmented reality using Artivive, "Metamorphic Synthesis" bridges the gap between the physical and the digital, inviting audiences to engage with the artwork in ways previously unexplored.
In essence, "Metamorphic Synthesis" is a testament to the evolving nature of artistic expression. It is a convergence of painting and digital sculpting, of traditional and digital, of static and dynamic. This work invites viewers to question the boundaries of perception and reality, as it transcends the confines of traditional art forms into a realm where creativity knows no bounds.
