“My subject matter is people. Not just figures, but the thoughts they contain, the connections they form, and the experiences they hold. My goal is to capture the human experience and add a fantastical twist – to capture the wonder in simply being.” - @anisopod
This great digital art piece is by Studio Art student Conor Ryan called “The Celestial.”
•
“This work is exploring the idea of what could be out there in the universe. Is something waiting for our species in the stars? Is something looking down on us even now? The universe and its infinite possibilities interest me greatly, and through this piece, The Celestial, I strive to share this curiosity. I derive influence for this piece from wave-like CRT television glitches, and from themes in films like “Blade Runner 2049” and “Interstellar”. The being depicted here is supposed to embody the unknown of the universe, what might be out there.” - @conorwryan.art
