Featured Artworks
"Up is down and left is right in this topsy turvy tableau created by 3D visionary Adam Martinakis. Our identity gets defined by the traces we leave behind on the spaces we inhabit, but if we lose control of our spatial perspective, do will we still know who we are?" (Tom Van Avemaet)
Fragmented Identity

"With a certain playfulness this Martinakis piece reflects on a yearning for a lost childhood, a time where we could play without worry and the nights always felt shorter than the days. If our pasts were islands, this could be one of them." (Tom Van Avemaet)
The Eternal Summer Of A Childhood
2021
Digital illustration
"Two semi-transparent, slightly androgynous lovers start to blend into a heart-shaped figure, both abstractly romantic and literally breathtaking.
Martinakis's work perfectly captures how one of the ideals of love, where two become one, can be equally appealing and frightening."

"For the artists featured in this exhibit, the digital realm has provided a space to create their own realities. We invite you to discover the unique dreamlands that their imaginations have spawned. Catch a glimpse of surreal creatures hiding in rainbow forests and allow yourself to be hypnotized by the strange sights and sounds of alien worlds. This exhibit pays homage to artists who are world builders. Like gods and goddesses armed with digital pencils, VR sculpting tools, and AI paintbrushes, they spawn unique universes that may or may not reflect our own. As Pablo Picasso once stated, 'Everything you can imagine is real,' a message that the featured artists have taken to heart. Come join their journey into the depths of distant stars or the infinity of human creativity." (Tom Van Avemaet, Curator)
