🐓 ARTRA’s Best of Emerging Artists 2023 : (Pixel? Visual? SOMETHING Symphony)

(Pixel? Visual? SOMETHING Symphony) beckons us to contemplate the symbiotic relationship between what our eyes perceive, what stirs within us, and the enduring imprints etched on our hearts. It stands as an ode to the art of existence, a visual symphony that harmonises with the universal cadence of the human experience.

In ‘Float Like Jackson’ the spirit of Michael Jackson’s iconic dance movements merges seamlessly with the individual grace of surfers navigating the waves. Yet, here, the waves transform into ethereal clouds, creating a dreamscape in which each surfer seems to float, weightless and unrestrained. The artistic spirit of this collection reflects the collision of terrestrial elegance and celestial dreams yielding a visual poetry, echoing the beauty of both earthly and cosmic realms.
