I am small and elegant. Whether I am drowning in the noise or being the only vision in the room,  I find peace in this place. 

Bijou

One of a series of works that explores how color changes can make still images appear to have movement .The creation of artwork through the use of spheres is a focus of my practice and all of the images in this series were created inside three dimensional spheres.

 '... of Cotton & Rope' is part 1 of the CreatureBizarro series, a work in progress. 
This is first of three themes about the survival of African-Americans from enslavement and US history rooted in the dehumanization of forced labor of the cotton fields harvesting the ingredient used to create the rope, the very tool used against them for violence and lynching.

The things we take to be our reality can be irrevocably altered in an instant, while the world goes on, oblivious to the private moments it contains. We are only passing through.



In Due Time

"Watcher" represents The Child, a series of works based on my short story, "The Occurrence: Part 1"

The Occurrence: Part I
Out of the blue of an otherwise perfectly ordinary day, it came careening down from the sky, crashing in a spectacular and seemingly endless cloud of shimmering ash that spread throughout the land, sparing nothing. No one could possibly have known what would ensue. When the dust finally settled, it was onto a world that would be forever transformed. Some say it began on the day that The Child first noticed an almost imperceptible difference in the colors on a snake. But it was still the Before Times, and no one yet understood.

What All agreed on, in retrospect, is that there is a dark side to seductive beauty that at first remains unseen…

Blushing should be watched on loop to calm the mind, or just because she's a beauty.

Sweet Dreams

The rose has been a symbol of God's presence in various situations since ancient times. It offers a glimpse of the masterful creator's active handiwork in the world. As the rose blooms, its buds gradually open up to reveal blossoms with layers, illustrating how spiritual wisdom unfolds in people's lives.

"The Creator's Soul" represents emerging technologies that allow creators to explore different realities and perspectives. The rose symbolizes the creator's soul in the virtual realm, as they push the boundaries of creation across digital realities and realms through collaboration, imagination, and storytelling.

The artwork is a digitally painted and drawn-over photograph of the rose, using a color palette commonly used in the metaverse. The layers of paint splashes, doodles, and line work represent the collaboration of different art forms across different realities and realms.


A Creator's Soul

This digital collage/ gan art/ illustration started with a newspaper image of my Uncle Hanover and his childhood friend. 

“The young boys James Thompson and David Simpson with Kelly Alexander of the NAACP in Wadesboro, North Carolina in January 1959.” - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kissing_Case

I saved the rendering and collected images for the collage work: newspapers and advertisements meant to collect Black people, from running away, to take to prison, to work the land, front page photos, and art for The Kissing Case.

Welcome to un OTRO MUNDO, this is the first piece minted for COEXISTENCIA, a mixed-media digital art series that blends eco-feminism, indigenous futurism, magical elements, and co-existence with nature. Each piece depicts a surreal scene that captures an intimate moment with biomorphic creatures, mothers caring for their young or entities contemplating reproduction; an invocation of the conscious evolution of a new mythological human species.

Created by Protagonista (AKA Tanya Vlach), this series began as an experiment with generating fantasy scenes through AI processing in October 2022. The scenes are then refined and expanded in Procreate, and some pieces are further explored through an embodied and tactile process by physically adding different mediums for texture. By taking these precious scenes out of the digital realm transforming them it the physical, and then returning them into the digital as offerings, each NFT in the COEXISTENCIA series holds magical metaphysical properties

Welcome to un OTRO MUNDO  

We stand at the nexus of two worlds, a portal into the unknown. Two half’s representing a whole, one half a twin of the other, one represents the real, the other, the virtual. 

Trees also represent for me, conduits to other realms, they too are the nexus between worlds and dimensions, so I often represent them in my virtual work. They become the imaginative bridge between the physical and the virtual. They are the symbolic portals like Yggdrasil the world tree holding the nine worlds: this I think, is a perfect allegorical representation of the Metaverse.
