Katherine Robinson

United Kingdom

Katherine Robinson is a British-born photographer and visual artist based in Madrid, Spain. She creates her art by photographing the architecture, skylines and nature found in her neighbourhood - and other worldwide cities - and animating the photographs to create a chaotic moving landscape with dream-like elements. She gives everyone the opportunity to escape reality by twisting everyday objects, buildings and landscapes.


Windows - which conceal hundreds of hidden stories - light vs darkness, clouds and brutalist architecture are recurring themes in her work. She hopes to encourage viewers to see beauty in their everyday surroundings and look for the little details that would otherwise go unnoticed.

Last one awake - part 1 - horizontal version

Last_one_awake_-_part_1_-_horizontal_version_Katherine_Robinson_Video.mp4

I’ve always been fascinated by windows - each one a frame holding its own quiet story, a world of hopes and dreams tucked behind the glass. With this series, I wanted to capture that sense of layered life - all those unseen stories unfolding at once within a single, confined space. The notion of sonder - the profound realization that every person is living a life as vivid, complex, and filled with personal stories as your own.

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.
