The "Threads of Time: The Modern Allegories" series blends Renaissance art aesthetic with contemporary branding and technology, using AI to induce the Mandela Effect by blurring the lines of time and memory, as if this modern attire donned such Renaissance-era figures.
As familiar icons of Nike, Apple, and the American Flag seamlessly integrate into classical scenes, viewers are left questioning the longevity of these symbols and perhaps altering our perception of history. While no formal affiliation exists between this series and the brands displayed, their use has become a critical component in the artist’s body of work. The juxtaposition of period-specific iconography invites us to recognize the common pursuit of beauty throughout time, while embracing the overt evolutions that are shaping this new era.
Each piece in this collection further explores themes such as compassion, exploration, empowerment, and innovation while celebrating the harmonious fusion between tradition and modernity, even antiquity and contemporary fashion. The subjects in these paintings embody diverse aspects of the modern human experience – from nurturing life on Earth to safeguarding digital assets. Together, each painting represents a quintessential allegory of the topics most critical to today’s culturally connected world.
