Extension of Reality | Mixed Media Project

A few days ago, I was thinking of the great artist, Salvador Dali. Just a fun project I envisioned as I love all things abstract. His depiction of objects and characters in distortion of reality represented by crisp details in striking colors, is what draws me to this art style.

If you follow my projects, you see that I also love combining different type art with human intervention to match the mood.

I hope this design is characteristic of that blend.

To begin, I used several styles, together with a free-sourced human female image. The diffusion images were retrieved from StarryAI who interprets the Salvador Dali impression to my satisfaction. Other images I felt gave the same abstract vibe.

What I liked working with that particular female is it portrays an abstract feel with the model wearing a striking red top where she's leaning against, I believe, a booth, probably at a railway station. The heart rate images I stretched to form an abstract sound wave design. This formed a barrier between the female and other objects in the scene.

Program: StarryAI:

Utilizing Canva, my design program, I blended the different type images, beginning with a blank, white canvas. I then changed the background color to orange to provide a quiet, but colorful backdrop for the eye and a calm space. Removing most of the images' backgrounds made it possible to view the blank space. The space reminded me of a person contemplating an issue with no distraction.

Next, I added layers of elements.

I share with you my completed project:
