DIGITAL PRINT

COLLECTIVE PROJECT IN PRINTMAKING

8 ARTISTS - 8 INDIVIDUALIZED INTERPRETATIONS

​

In this collective project, each artist created their personal interpretation of the twelve zodiac signs.

​

To commemorate this remarkable artistic production, each participant made their own boxes cataloging a 10 limited edition of the twelve zodiac signs. The twelve prints, distinct in their techniques and representative of each sign, are imbued with the artist's style, concept, and expertise. These prints add a touch of authenticity and personal connection to the collection.

​

"MILLE CONSTELLATIONS"  

​

"MILLE CONSTELLATIONS" (THOUSAND CONSTELLATIONS) was an intricate journey spanning across 17 months, where I poured my creativity into crafting a unique project. Inspired by the captivating symbolism of Greek mythology, I embarked on designing digital prints of my very own zodiac collection.

 

Immersed in the enchanting world of gods and goddesses, I meticulously handpicked divine beings that epitomized the essence of each astrological zodiac sign. I chose distinctive sacred attributes associated with these revered deities, and I creatively integrated my personal choices in each design. Every stroke of my digital brush carefully etched the embodiment of both power and grace, capturing the very spirit of the zodiac signs. To deepen the connection between the viewer and my art, I subtly weaved in the distinguished symbol of each zodiac sign, enhancing their experience and evoking a sense of delight.

​

This labor of love stands as a testament to my dedication and passion, creating a mesmerizing collection that invites others to explore the profound depths of Greek mythology through the lens of the zodiac.
