/// "The artwork captures a suspended instant between intimacy and discovery, where two young women appear frozen at the exact moment they become aware of being watched, creating psychological tension rooted in nineteenth century romantic portraiture and academic realism, with echoes of Ingres, Bouguereau, and Vermeer in the delicacy of skin and soft enveloping light. The story suggests a secret meeting repeated many times at that same threshold, a shared refuge away from the noise of the world."///

● About the Artist:
Original work by Nando López, a digital artist based in Barcelona. Trained in advertising design, he began his career in agencies and design studios before fully transitioning into fashion illustration, collaborating with internationally recognized brands.

● About the Dikhotomy Project:
For the past four years, Dikhotomy has been an ongoing series of digital collages and illustrations where classical art and contemporary culture collide unapologetically. Fragments of art history blend with pop elements, visual irony, and cultural critique to provoke both reflection and amusement.

Each piece is the result of a creative clash between handcrafted digital editing and AI-powered tools (midjourney and recraft) merging the human and the technological. Influenced by pop art and urban art, Dikhotomy is a deliberate parody of the art world and an invitation to view it from a new perspective.

● Highlights:

— Confirmed solo exhibition at Gamla Kraftstationen Gallery (Sweden), 1 May – 28 September 2025.

— Upcoming digital show: “Lost in Alteration” at the Digital Horizons Museum, 25–28 October 2025.

— His illustration “I am Jesus” was featured on the cover of Newsweek (Polish edition), further establishing his international reach.

— In addition to exhibiting at fairs and galleries, he collaborates with interior design and concept stores in Spain, France, Belgium, and Norway.
