In 'Sattva Darshana 07: Harmony of Realms', the artist crafts an intricate blend of technology and tradition, seamlessly merging digital landscapes with mythical elements from diverse minority cultures. Utilizing advanced digital scanning and AI-based 3D rendering techniques, the artwork portrays a hyper-realistic geographical environment. Into this digital terrain, the artist introduces figures crafted with Chinese ink painting, bringing mythical creatures and spirits to life. The result is an evocative journey that traverses not only geographies but also cultural and technological boundaries, echoing the timeless theme of unity within diversity. This piece serves as a poignant reminder of our interconnectedness, both with nature and the narratives that enrich our cultural tapestry.
The 'Sattva Darshana' series, named after the Sanskrit phrase meaning 'seeing the essence of beings,' is a tribute to the vivid flashes of life that I've encountered in my global sojourns. These moments of vitality appear unexpectedly—on cliff faces, amid fallen branches, in places one might least anticipate. Utilizing mobile digital devices to scan real-world objects and environments during my travels, I employ AI algorithms to convert these into 3D models or point clouds. These raw forms are then artistically transformed into the finished works, serving as a digital record of these fleeting moments of life that would otherwise pass us by.
