Holoborg, 2018, – With this piece, I was exploring a signature style. At that time, Felipe Pantone and Demsky were gaining popularity, and I admired how they both achieved balance and contrast in their work. Adopting the same artistic principles, I aimed to replicate something similar but added a futuristic psychedelic twist—something that, to my knowledge, had not yet been attempted in my realm.
The deeper meaning behind the piece is rooted in the "onion effect" I was illustrating. It shows how humans are corporeal and, at the same time, a matrix of energy and light. I embraced this idea, enhancing it with trippy repeating patterns and layers of reality peeling away.
I chose the title "Holoborg" because, in a way, pure consciousness resembles a spiritually-engineered organism where our essence is frequencies and vibrations. This work measures 30x36 inches and took approximately 30 hours to complete.
