Featured Artworks
Turquoise, yellow and pinks spark out of this abstract composition. Colours fade into another into subtle, watery gradients as we observe a synthetic mimic of the dissolution principle. Yoshi Sodeoka enjoys delving from generative processes found in nature. From such a foundation, he built his algorithms and tested potential visual outcomes. Experimentation then led to the psychedelic and hypnotising motif of Synthetic Liquid 1.
