The Illusion of Reality

Is peace of mind even real if, in those so-called moments of peace, a new inner conflict still seems so imminent?

first and so far the only piece I've made having an AI element as a starting point: a male bust created with Midjourney and then edited in Photoshop where it was colored/stylized and multiplied so I could have a main head containing two others. that way I was able to depict the idea of having more than one inner self inside an individual. in this case, you see a brief moment when those two different sides of us are in peace with each other.

Inner Peace?

Right when I joined the Cardano community of artists, these were the first pieces I minted. Now I have imported their policy to Kreate so I can concentrate all my Cardano NFTs in just one place.

This collection represents a return to my collage roots with artworks that resemble what I used to create before establishing the style I became better known for. I believe Kreate is just the right place for me to share this other side of my creativity.
