Moteh

Denmark

Moteh aka Morten Lasskogen is a digital artist from Denmark. He has a background in photography, working 10+ years in the industry. Through his photography, Moteh developed a fascination for light and has explored and mastered the art of light throughout his career. In 2018, this led him into using 3D and a new artistic technique. Built upon the same principles as photography, 3D tools allowed the artist to utilise his experience in photography, but without the boundaries of reality.

Today, Moteh creates art through 3D as his main profession and has built up a substantial following on social media platforms such as Instagram (150k) and Twitter (25k). Known for his simplistic yet striking scenes, Moteh uses light and color to convey meaningful emotion. Over the last couple of years, the artist has worked with numerous big names in the music and corporate world.  Since 2020, Moteh has also made a name for himself in the NFT scene, which has led to exhibitions around the world.

I close my eyes to see

If the story of light begins with you, I wish to know where dreams are born. I close my eyes and make my way, surrendering to the longing that guides me. Through the endless sea of noise and distractions, disregarding all else in search of your essence. The less I see, the more I feel the fractured rapture of becoming whole again. The will to be. The stillness between my heartbeats. The sweet texture of forever filling up my lungs that reminds me you are not an illusion. The more I feel, the more I know. I'm getting closer. And the closer I get, the harder it is to breathe...There it is. There I am. I am the dreamer. You are the dream.

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
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
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.
