Ongoing series of digital drawings based on original drawings on paper.
This series of digital works was obtained by distorting hand-drawn sketches on paper using a computer algorithm. The sketches are scanned before undergoing a random deconstruction process through a generated code, resulting in a completely unexpected outcome. An infinite number of distortion possibilities can be explored based on the same initial drawing, with all the obtained results being unique.
Most of the drawings used feature the human figure. Through the process of digital editing, the body becomes unrecognizable and dematerialized. This work addresses the violence inflicted upon the body, particularly the female body, in the pursuit of an unattainable aesthetic ideal. It also reflects on our relationship with digital technology concerning our representation of the body, from digitally altered fashion images to entirely virtual avatars.
A new take on contemporary drawing, this project blends traditional arts and new technologies.
