Carlos Arriaga - Trans Barcelona. Poble Nou

Digital painting about photography transmuted.
This set of works reflects on the fragile relationship between humanity and nature. Through powerful, high-contrast images, I seek to capture a world where the atmosphere seems altered, uneasy, and transmuted. The skies I depict, often darkened or 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 headed if we do not regain the lost balance.

Urban scene of Barcelona in the Poble Nou area.
A novel photograph in which the mute image is shown transformed and, in a way, reversed. The lights become shadows, the shadows become lights, the colors transform into their complementary hues and magic arises. It is a transmuted photograph with the inverted positive that becomes what was once called negative, as in silver halide films but greatly enhanced with a lot of digital painting work.
These city views are the magical result of extensive intellectual and manual work with the computer. Recognizable urban landscape but totally transformed by light and color. A unique technique in the world, as far as I know.
