Pluralis

AI and digital painting, 1792x2304
(view the artwork)
Like a nymph resting on a rock in the manner of the allegories of Renaissance painters, Pluralis is at once plant, mineral and human. Surrounded by colourful vegetation, the forest seems as dense as it is toxic. The central figure is in complete harmony with its environment, through its colours, its touch, its gaze and the mandibles protruding from its head. Kira Xonorika's post-human vision is a celebration of connection, resilience, and the infinite potential for growth.
