This series comprises roughly 15 paintings, with the intricate tiny figures necessitating a time-consuming process of limb adjustment. This particular painting is not quite done yet, but I’d like to post some in-progress renders, since the idea is taking shape nicely that articulate my intentions.
As in the initial painting, necessity in social media required the men to wear towels rather than Sudariums, a creation of the 17th century. This anachronistic choice, however, in my view, doesn’t hinder my creative expression significantly. Most of the works I post under this identity are sketches of ideas. What I hope to do in the future would be to actually realize these in physical medium. But to do that, I first need to sketch it out.
Embracing AI for this purpose may defy convention, but it opens doors to novel experimentation opportunities. It offers a speed and efficiency unachievable with traditional art mediums.
