Carlos Arriaga - London Is Watching You

Digital painting about photography transmuted.
The London Eye in a photograph of great technical complexity and with a major formal transformation due to light and color.
A novel photograph in which the mute is shown transformed and somehow reversed. The lights become shadows, the shadows become lights, the colors transform into their complements and magic arises. It is a transmuted photograph with the inverted positive that becomes what in the past was called the negative, like silver halide films but much improved with a lot of digital painting work.

The skies I represent with an almost unreal appearance are not simple 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 recover the lost balance.
This set of works reflects on the fragile relationship between humanity and nature. Through powerful images and high contrast, I seek to capture a world where the atmosphere seems altered, unsettling and transmuted.

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.
