Johana Kroft

United States of America

Johana Kroft is a 3D artist from the Czech Republic, currently based in New York. After living in London, traveling around the world, and establishing an art studio, Idea & Maker, she works worldwide. The most important thing the artist is to communicate deep emotions through her artwork, and thanks to the digital medium, keep her art alive forever. She interprets her colorful aesthetic in 3D worlds, using various styles and techniques. She loves to combine different shapes, colors, and surreal spaces into one frame where she tells a story. More recently, she has started to work with AI software as a part of her process for inspiration.


Johana's biggest successes include two exhibitions in China, art installations in NFT NYC, Decentral Art Pavilion Venice Biennale, Women and NFT, Show by Paris Hilton - Empowered By Paris - Sevens Foundation, and Czech Design Week 2021, 2022 exposition, ArtGee x SuperRare Spaces Exhibition | Randomness and her illustration for New York Times.

Underwater Orchestra

Underwater_Orchestra_Johana_Kroft_3D.mp4

Underwater Orchestra, 2022 was exhibited at the Kunsthalle Prague as part of Invisible Forces extended captions, curated by Iva Polanecká, Daniel Burda, Mario Kunovský and Martin Pošta.


‘Our work comes from the depths of the ocean, where things have tangled together and accumulated over the years. Here we find indeterminate objects of all kinds, many made of plastic, which over time have become underwater creatures. Their sounds come from loneliness and sadness, because as more rubbish comes into the ocean, the creatures get bigger and their pain continues.’

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.
