Meditation - 10K HyperPixel digital print artwork download - PNG format

Meditation is a large composition of a true 10K (88 MP) size and the next image in the HyperPixel format to be released on ArtStation. Qualified as a HyperPixel, the image has an ultra high resolution while featuring beautiful fine detail as a result of progressive upscaling, enhancement and meticulous manual inpainting using state of the art tools of the Stable Diffusion technology. The product images include 3 ‘pixel morsels’, artfully cut out fragments of the master image meant to show the texture and intricate detail of this creation at the 1:1 scale.

• description

The artwork of a monochrome black and white palette presents a large irregularly shaped object of seemingly turbulent structure, with various areas rendered in shades of grayscale, from white to light gray to dark gray and to black. Upon a closer look, numerous embedded scenes can be discerned, populated with people, animals, trees and birds. When viewed closely, the strikingly fine and fluid line drawing style in which the picture is executed can be observed. People in the image appear often in couples, engaged in an act of meditation or absorbed by a bliss; many pictured nude. Creatures featured in the picture appear in harmony with nature and each other, emphasised by the organic growth rendered in a florid, continuous drawing style. A huge stairway leading up to the skies is shown on the right edge of the picture, with people walking up in a dancing fashion; the stairway has a large face of a female with her eyes closed attached to its top end. Viewing all the countless features of extremely fine detail drawn interchangeably in a grayscale, black-on-white or white-on-black style across the picture makes for a mesmerizing effect. 

• what it is for

The main image does not have any other utility than to be enjoyed as a modern digital art piece. It is not intended to be used as a screen wallpaper (although you could use it that way if you like), or a reference, or an illustration. It is to be used more or less like large paintings of old masters were used: to be viewed at a distance, then studied up close in detail, marveling at the beauty of the fine detail and the brushstrokes - only the canvas is now your gorgeous LED screen, with brushstrokes composed of self-illuminating pixel patterns. Such is the unique richness of detail in this HyperPixel creation that, each time you pan or zoom somewhere in the image, you may discover something new, glimpse a nuance not seen before. With the size this large, and detail this dense, this image is an invitation to an endless visual discovery. 

• inspiration source and brief history

The presented artwork is the result of my experimentation with infusing fractal- and MC Escher-inspired geometric patterns into a previously AI-generated monochrome image, and adding various characters, creatures and objects along the way. The novel CanvasInfusion style approach of using an abstract picture as the structural basis for a new, and a very different, version is the unifying feature of the series (and also of the corresponding FoldPix set) in which the artwork is included, hence the series title, The involute canvas. The artistic content of the image draws on my longtime fascination with making fractal images, something that I have been busy with since the mid 1990s. The presented (‘infused’) version was rendered 2 years after the original (base ‘clipart’) one was generated; it was then substantially upscaled and enhanced via extensive inpainting, with the goal to elevate it to the HyperPixel standard and publish as a digital art product.
