This artwork is the final submission from the artist Santiso for the ‘Humanity’ event by the Faerian gallery. The artist created this piece in 3 days, inspired by a prompt that was submitted by the public. In a unique twist, instead of being interpreted by an AI, this time the prompt was brought to life by a human artist. The entire creative process was livestreamed online and at the NFC Lisboa event.
Was AI used?
— No
How is your final artwork related to the prompt?
— I tried to include all the aspects of the idea in the illustration
Why did you choose this prompt?
— I felt comfortable with the elements and ideas in the text and especially for this indication: “Performed in a whimsical artistic style”. It is ideal for me.
Explain more your creative process:
— I have put on paper all the elements I wanted to play with, the tree, the color, the leaves-person, the urban-nature landscape, the stars, the leaves seen under the microscope, with their cells, the stars, the microchips… The chaos was such that it took me a long time to figure out how to order the composition. Until the end of the process, I thought I might never be able to order it and make it visually digestible….I suffered a lot, but finally I think I managed to get the image to be looked at without hurting the eyes.
