"Digital Breath," a watercolor on handmade Amalfi paper, 35 cm x 50 cm, year 2023, a unique, monochromatic work made only with the color YinMn Blue, the last blue hue to have been synthesized after Prussian Blue (1706), Cobalt Blue (1802) Bremen Blue (1858), which is considered a pure color, that is, a color without the addition of black or white pigments.
The image arose from asking an artificial intelligence system, Midjourney, to visualize a female face, to begin a dialogue between human and artificial creativity.
The resulting image was reworked and painted in the newest of colors, discovered only in 2009 and still uncommon in art circles, so much so that it is very difficult to find on the market.
The choice to view the subject from below, with a long neck in evidence, is meant to accentuate the elegance and majesty of the human, and is a metaphor for rising to new spheres of understanding and awareness through digital.
The woman's face, turned upward, almost seems to aspire to infinity, suggesting a desire for elevation and discovery. Shades of blue, in both shadows and light, tell a tale of introspection, reflection and mystery.
In "Digital Breath," there is an invitation to reflect on the changing nature of existence in the digital age, emphasizing the possibility that the connection between man and machine will bring beauty and depth. The work is a tribute to innovation, but also a reminder of humanity's constant search for meaning, beauty and truth, even in a world increasingly mediatized by technology.
The work "Digital Breath" is part of a series of four watercolors on paper, all monochromatic, painted in Van Dyke red, green, and brown in addition to blue. The four works together represent the four seasons (green the spring, red the summer, brown the autumn and blue the winter).
