I love this mashup of styles, in which I'm seeing both Mucha, ancient art, ancient architecture and Jordans on the feet!
My only frustration is that try as I might, I haven't been able to find the original artist. Using reverse-image searches I've been able to come up with a couple names, like "Ely Ferreras," "Samuel Huynh," and others, but so far it seems like maybe they were just people who shared the art on their social media streams. Or maybe "Ely Ferreras" is actually the name of the subject / piece?
Bahhhh, I don't know.
Anyway, you'll get a gold star from me if you can definitively solve the mystery via your internet sleuthing skills. 😀
It's possibly AI-generated, which could explain a mash-up of styles. If you can find the "original", you might be able to check the EXIF data to see if there's anything interesting there. Most tools leave their generation parameters in there.
Yeah I was also thinking something either AI, or a whole bunch of filters/photo collage. The girl doesn't really look rendered by a human (although I know there are artists who can do that, it takes a lot of work). Either way, it could be an autonomous work, but I doubt it.
Honestly, it's actually the rise of AI art that's making me eager to go back to my art roots, less as a creator but more as a researcher. I think it's becoming more and more important we get a more thorough understanding of what art is to us, what entices us about it, and whether we want that to be replaced by something a machine can think of.
