This is the fourth piece in the AI Brush Strokes series. In this artwork, I aimed to depict a vivid sunset bleeding beyond the horizon, with Crepuscular rays spreading across the surface of the painting. The sunset’s vibrant orange, yellow, and purple hues blend seamlessly into the sky, creating a dramatic backdrop that captures the fleeting beauty of twilight.
This piece features a depressed path winding through the landscape, flanked by tall grass and rocks. The occasional glitches and unexpected results add an intriguing layer of complexity to the landscape, making it feel like it belongs to another world.
About the AI Brush Strokes Series
I am exploring the ethical use of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to generate landscape images from brush strokes. Unlike text-to-image generation tools, this approach offers direct control over the composition, resulting in images that resemble collages more than photographic realism. This technique allows me to create reference images based on visual aesthetics that closely align with imaginary landscapes.
With this approach, I can take my landscape exploration further by not focusing on realistic depictions but instead, embracing the glitches and unexpected results that give rise to surreal, otherworldly landscapes. The 3D composition in this piece comes as an intuitive reaction to what the images suggest.
