Carlos Arriaga - 524 Weeks Left

Digital painting about photography transmuted. (Inverted from positive to negative)
The skies I represent with an almost unreal appearance are not mere aesthetic choices; they are metaphors of the state of our environment and of the consequences that human intervention has caused. Each work aims to invite reflection, to question our impact and to imagine where we are heading if we do not restore the balance we lost.
This set of works reflects on the fragile relationship between humanity and nature. Through powerful images with strong contrast, I seek to capture a world where the atmosphere seems altered, unsettled, and transmuted.

Urban scene of Downtown from MaNew Jersey.
A novel photograph in which the mute is shown transformed and in a way reversed. The lights become shadows, shadows become lights, colors transform into their complements and magic arises. It is a transmuted photograph with the inverted positive that becomes what was formerly called negatives, like silver halide films but greatly enhanced with a lot of digital painting work.
These views of cities are the magical result of extensive research and work both intellectual and manual with the computer. Recognizable urban landscape but totally transformed through light and color. A unique technique in the world, as far as I know.
