The subway is a daily routine for many of us, a moment to unwind and prepare for the day ahead. “Hello Monday” is a collection that captures the serene moments of people riding the subway on a typical Monday morning.

This series depicts various subway riders experiencing a sleepy Monday morning. Some have their eyes closed, while others are lost in thought. Each piece is a snapshot of a mundane moment of everyday life, a glimpse into the inner worlds of people on their way to work or school.

“Hello Monday” invites you to step into the world of the subway rider, to join them on their journey, and to experience their dreams and hopes. This collection captures the unique energy and personality of the riders, creating a vibrant and dynamic portrait of subway life.

Laura Alonso

Argentina

A Mexican artist and photographer based in Buenos Aires, Laura Alonso creates an ethereal visual language inspired by the sky, sunsets, and nature, as well as by the soothing melodies of lo-fi and classical music. Her practice, which she herself describes as a collaboration with artificial intelligence, is characterized by dreamlike, aesthetic scenes where the real and the surreal constantly intertwine. With a delicate touch and a palette inspired by the enchanting hues of the “pink hour,” she recreates peaceful, otherworldly places, seeking an ethereal, spiritual, and romantic atmosphere that evokes calm, harmony, and positivity. Her visual world, firmly rooted in glitter, aesthetics, and dreamcore, captivates the senses and exudes beauty, intrigue, and a touch of magic—a place where the mind finds comfort and the heart finds serenity.

More on digital art

Generative art

Generative art refers to a way of creating artworks using an autonomous system. In digital art, these are usually generated from code and algorithms created by the artist, often with certain predefined parameters or systems. Although these parameters guide the final outcome of the work, generative art is generally a surprising way to create artworks, as the results are often unexpected and the number of possible outcomes can be infinite.

AI art is a branch of generative art that uses artificial intelligence. Unlike other generative artworks, AI artworks use specific complex algorithms and models derived from machine learning. The most common methods for creating AI art today are GANs (generative adversarial networks) or proprietary prompting platforms such as ChatGPT, Sora, Midjourney, or Dall-e.

3D art uses 3D software such as Blender, Cinema4D, Houdini, or video game software such as Unity to create works of art. In 3D works, artists can either arrange assets (the 'objects' in a 3D artwork or world) that they have created themselves or purchased from other creators to create elaborate environments and scenes (an approach to 3D art called 'set dressing'), or specialize in sculpting, which involves creating their own objects and assets.

Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry is a specialized 3D technique that allows 3D objects to be created from numerous photographs taken of an object or scene from multiple angles. These photos are then compiled to determine the specific positioning, shape, and dimensions of the object in space, and then converted into a 3D model. Initially developed for engineering and urban planning, photogrammetry has become a way for artists to produce extremely accurate 3D models from real-life images.

Collage

An extension of the traditional, plastic approach to collage, digital collage involves searching for and cutting out multiple images, extracting them from their original context, and recomposing them in a new arrangement to create a work of art. Artists can use their own photographs or find images on the internet.

Illustration

Digital illustrations are created using software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or Procreate. As with drawing on paper, the artist uses a stylus to sketch a figure or object, usually on a tablet, to construct a scene or artistic universe. Unlike traditional drawing methods, digital illustration is much more forgiving, as mistakes can be easily corrected and drawn elements and objects can be easily moved around within a scene.

Video

Video artworks primarily use a recording camera, but may sometimes include additional post-processing or editing to distort, modify or add additional elements to the image. Some artists use state-of-the-art recording equipment to create macro zoom-ins or time lapses, privileging fidelity to the subject matter. Others use additional softwares to significantly modify or warp the video, creating an alternative perspective on the world that surrounds us.
