Discussion

The success in facing the daily dilemmas and the occasional unexpected catastrophes that chance places in our path depends on our ability to focus our superior intellect on the study of our own being. Embracing many points of view of the self is a masterful tool for forging any new link with the world. The understanding of being is a practice that the 21st century has put aside despite being in these moments of cultural mishmash when we most need to look within ourselves.

Anyone who remains with a single perspective of the world is condemned to wander it on one only path.

Technique

Manual filter of facial transformation as the main template. The other layers are made up of patterns added by collage and Deep Dream patterns added by contrast. The final image was processed multiple times by low-enhancing convolutional filters.

From the artist

This can be said to be my version of a “self-portrait”. A purely subjective representation of what I observed when analyzing my position in the world. I like to represent myself with multiple eyes because I associate them with knowledge and the occult. For the latter’s purposes, I also often include in many of my pieces patterns with sacred geometry and ancestral symbology, as well as semasiological links between the myths of tarot, religion and divine science.
