🎨 Artist of the week

Emilia Dumitrescu is the artist behind Kali's Story.

Her journey in this direction began as a child, but her metamorphosis into the digital world took place a year and a half ago. Currently making both 2D and 3D creations, animations, making filters and other projects where she experiments with augmented reality.

Inspired by Indian culture, especially the goddess Kali, she has created a first digital collection - Chapter 1, 'Taking off the Maya veil', which presents 10 puzzle-like stories, with a bit of contemporary reality, urging us to relax and remove the background noise created by the excessive information we all come into contact with.

Two works she is proud of are 'Unexpected Surprise' which was exhibited at Kuwait's WAGMI - the first NFT IRL exhibition of theirs in the country (2022), and the work 'In&Out' was exhibited at NFT.NYC at the Javits Convention Centre (April 2023).

🤖 AI ART

Using AI, we type in a few words and it generates an image. For today's, Maria Raluca Stănescu used Midjourney and the following words: "Christian Louboutin-inspired high-heels::6, featuring a brand-new design that takes inspiration from the future::2 in metaverse. Intricately detailed, with every element carefully crafted to perfection, realistic::8 that you can almost feel the texture of the material as you gaze upon them. The futuristic-design::2 elements are seamlessly integrated into the shoe's silhouette, creating a seamless and visually striking look, rendered in ultra-high definition, allowing you to see every single detail with crystal clarity, 16k (--q2)"
