A surreal portrait of a man whose face is partially concealed by a bizarre mechanical mask. He calmly smokes a pipe, with smoke spiraling into the air. The fusion of human and machine evokes a whimsical yet contemplative atmosphere, blending vintage elegance with industrial abstraction.
Artistic Statement: Inspired by the Dadaist movements of Francis Picabia and Kurt Schwitters, this piece melds human identity with mechanical abstraction. The mechanical mask, geometric forms, and pipe create a striking contrast between organic life and industrialism, exploring themes of absurdity, duality, and the mechanization of human thought.
The base image has been made in NightCafeStudio with the following prompt: "(Francis Picabia:1.9), (Spy:1.9), (Smoking PIPE:1.4), (MASQUERADE:1.5), Encaustic, Volumetric Lighting, ABSTRACT, (KURT SCHWITTERS:1)"
The "hand + pipe complex" was a huge "charpie" totally aberrant, even when the DDG prompt was applied. Then I had to inpaint this part a lot.
