Art mingles with our deepest meditations to accompany us on a journey towards the discovery of our inner peace. While the therapeutic virtues of art are well known, they are multiplied through the exploration of new media by artists, who give shape to new and unique sensory experiences. Captivating and relaxing, the works presented in this collection play with patterns and textures, in sometimes kaleidoscopic and psychedelic animations. Artists plunge us into restful worlds, on the frontiers of imagination and reality, to offer us a moment of escape in a meditative artistic contemplation.

Living beings, real and dreamed of, are an inexhaustible source of inspiration that numeric tools are renewing. Digital artists blur the boundaries between the animal, the plant and the human, between reality and fantasy, while feeding on various inspirations such as mythology, video games, life sciences and science-fiction. Supernatural creatures, mystical monsters, fantastic animal and strange plants roam around this collection and ultimately confront us to our most humane questions : the fear of what’s different, the definition of beauty, the cycle of life and the passage of time.

Through their travels and encounters, photographers capture moments of life. With a glance, a movement, portraits come to life to leave us dreaming of the precise moment when the photograph was taken: what happened right before, and what will happen next? What is the destiny of these portraits depicted through the camera? The characters, immortalised in a static setting, abandon us to our own reflections. Entangled in introspection and questioning our senses, everything is left to the imagination. Images, sometimes digitally reworked, surprise and question every gaze; the photographer’s, like the model’s, merge and intertwine to depict deep emotions liberated by the ultimate gaze, that of the spectator.

Biomimetics is the study and invention of synthetic materials or objects that take inspiration from natural (or biological) forms and movements. Today, this approach is widely used in design. In this selection, our digital artists, who often come from deisgn backgrounds and are heavily inspired by the world around them, also demonstrate an interest in biomimetics. Whether the artist takes inspiration from real-life flora and fauna to imagine a cyborg flower, digitise nature as a form of archiving and remembrance, or embed cities and gardens into rock formations, this body of work demonstrates the relationships between biological and natural forms, and technological innovation in art.

In this collection of works, artists take the themes of wild life and animals as their central focus, but explore this subject matter with differing techniques and approaches. There are mulitude of ways an artist can approach this topic, whether it is through humour and whimsy, as in the works of Gavin Shapiro or Ghost, or to address centuries old astrological symbols. Of course, the question of the preservation of endangered wild life and the environment also often comes into play, as digital artists create these works as a message and reminder to look after other living species around us, and concretise their memory on the internet or blockchain.

Blue is, above all, the color of the sky, then of the sea where it is reflected. It evokes infinity and escape, opening a window to distant horizons. It is associated with serenity, melancholy, or dreams. In short, blue is inspiring, prompting contemplation and introspection. As a color far from the warmth of bodies and the material world, the works in the Blue collection invite a mental stroll, an inner journey where the mind can wander and find itself.

The celebration of diversity—be it ethnic, cultural, identity-based, or related to physical and mental abilities—is increasingly recognized and highlighted in the media. This concept inspires artists to present new, original, and creative imagery while conveying a powerful message: our differences are beautiful and they unite us.

This delightful collection of works revels in all that is gourmand. Our artists explore the theme of food with joy and playfulness, resulting in colourful and whimsical artworks. Through techniques such as digital collage, 3D software, or even video and post-production edits, this mouthwatering selection of works demonstrates the diversity of techniques that can be used in digital art in a way that is sure to leave you wanting more!

This collection centres work that takes dreams as its primary root of inspiration. Whether the artists attempt to visually depict what a dream could look or feel like, or else create their pieces based on a dream they once had, the infinite possibilities in digital art lend well to the ephemeral and intangible quality of a dream.

Although digital and innovation are often associated, in a specific artistic approach, some artists rethink the codes of ‘traditional’ media to propose creations blurring the borders between fashionable and vintage. In a resolutely vintage aesthetic, reminiscent of newspapers and magazines of the last century, artists adopt digital media to bring archives back to life, upgraded with a modern touch, transforming traditional collages into 3.0 creations.
