Redo/Undo: Side-by-Side  

[carlosfleites-blog1]

Redo/Undo 

For this project i chose one of my paintings and put together digital collages where to create a pleasant aesthetic where the viewer can relate to the imagery and hopefully have a conversation with the artwork rather than a set narrative.

Day and night.

An animation madeusingthe photoshoptools.

Carlos Fleites (Photoshop animation)

In this short animation i tried to fit a narrative into a couple of seconds where i hoped to cause a sense of ease at first and then eeriness as it gets closer to the end. In my art usually i like to have the viewers have a dialogue with the piece, i hope that the viewers imagination fills in the gaps in the narrative and at the same time find in the artwork familiar imagery. With that said, the artwork does have some meaning to me. The landscape i chose is a digital  recreation of a famous Cuban landscape painting,the landscape has been famous for being the hub of many revolutions since the Spanish colonizers to the current government. A lot of fighting has actually happened in these mountains and with the fighting comes casualties. That is is a beautiful girl in a beautiful landscape are lost to the dark and ugliness by the end.
