Umbrae

The process

The process of creating the Umbrae collection is a complex and meticulous one. It all begins by dividing the digital canvas into rectangular regions, which I base on various subdivision rules and strategies. This creates a foundation on which to build the rest of the artwork. Next, I generate a set of points based on a noise field. This algorithmic method for generating random patterns or textures is a key aspect of the generative process that I employ. By utilizing this method, I am able to create unique and dynamic patterns for each section of the canvas. Once the points have been generated, I begin the process of layering colored lines, dots, and gradient shapes on top of them. Each layer builds on the one beneath it, creating a sense of depth and texture that is both mesmerizing and haunting. I pay careful attention to color and shading, further enhancing the depth and complexity of the work. The process of layering is repeated multiple times for each section, with each layer shadowing or protecting the one beneath it. This creates a sense of tension and intrigue, as the viewer is drawn deeper into the piece, exploring its intricate textures and hidden depths.
