Stefany Layton Cuervo

Colombia

Stefany Layton Cuervo is a visual artist trained in painting, drawing, and art history at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bogotá. Her work explores the idea of expanded painting, in which the pictorial image transcends the physical canvas to unfold within computational and virtual environments. After several years devoted to physical painting, she began translating her visual language into generative systems using tools such as TouchDesigner, before extending this research to virtual reality, where bodily perception and spatial immersion have become central to her creative process. In her immersive environments, drawing becomes spatial and habitable, and the viewer’s perception is an integral part of the medium. Layton thus approaches the metaverse as a philosophical territory in constant flux: a space where images do not age, where meaning remains unstable, and where the boundaries between the real and the virtual are constantly being reconfigured. Through projects developed across physical and virtual contexts (including Metamorphosis of the Landscape), she explores the relationship between material space and digital space as a direct mode of representation, following in the reinterpreted tradition of Renaissance painters who composed ideal landscapes in their studios before transposing them into paintings.

Her work has been exhibited in Colombia, New York, Miami, Melbourne, London, and Tokyo. Her recent exhibitions include Poéticas topo-gráficas (Gallery Carlos Orozco, Medellín, 2026), Simulacra & Simulation (Gallery Adrián Ibáñez, Bogotá, 2026), and Future Visions (Gallery Future Art, Sydney, 2025). She has also created immersive projects (Future.io, Hyperfy, OM Metaverse, SuperRare Gallery) and participated in curatorial and institutional events in Colombia, including DEVCON Bogotá and the Komanage Biennial (Turkey, 2022).

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.
