Carlos Arriaga - Horny Manhattan - XL

Digital painting on transmuted photography. The skies I portray with an almost unreal look are not mere aesthetic choices; they are metaphors of the state of our environment and of the consequences that human intervention has caused. Each work aims to invite reflection, to question our impact and to imagine where we are headed if we do not recover the lost balance. This collection of works reflects on the fragile relationship between humanity and nature. Through powerful and highly contrasted images, I seek to capture a world where the atmosphere seems altered, unsettled, and transmutted. Urban scene of Manhattan, with the One World Building as protagonists. A novel photograph in which the mute is shown transformed and, in a way, reversed. The lights become shadows, the shadows become lights, the colors transform into their complements and magic arises. It is a transmuted photograph with the inverted positive that becomes what was formerly called negative, like silver halide films but greatly enhanced with a lot of digital painting work. These city views are the magical result of extensive research and both intellectual and manual work with the computer. A recognizable urban landscape but totally transformed through light and color. A technique unique in the world, as far as I know. Artwork around the world, in order of number of works and photographs: Spain, Germany, Netherlands, USA, Italy, United Kingdom, France, Austria, Belgium, Japan, Taiwan, Switzerland, Mexico, Luxembourg, Romania, Australia.
