The upside of spending more than a year working on a digital collage artwork is you can play with the results for another 10, caught in a constant loop of inspiration. The Trinity is among my dearest creations, one I can never get tired revisiting, rethinking or just playing around with its elements like a child would play with a colorful puzzle.
It usually starts with minor iterations. I open the original to make a cropped version for a product or a banner, or simply to export a jpg file with a different size. And then I start looking at it. When I come back to my senses, I realize I have spent hours with it, clicking, lifting up layers, tracing elements…
The last time it happened, it lasted for 3 days. I ended up with a remastered version of the original, 4 variations and one completely new artwork that spontaneously appeared out of the blue.
Here are the first two variations: Trinity in Mono, a stripped down version of the foreground composition and The Birth of Rhythm, a variation based on the elements of the background.
