Symbiosis of Life 3

About this work

Symbiosis of Life 3 brings humans, animals and nature together in a vivid underwater world. Several stylized human faces are surrounded by a seahorse, fish, a turtle-like form, coral branches, shells, aquatic plants, waves and rising bubbles. The individual elements flow into one another, creating a powerful ecosystem in which everything appears interconnected.

The composition is defined by intense turquoise, blue, red, orange, green and golden accents. Strong black outlines and stained-glass-like color fields contrast with the organic movement of water, coral and plants. The human faces seem to become part of the sea, while the animals and natural forms acquire almost human characteristics. In this way, the artwork reflects the interdependence of humans, animals and nature, as well as the delicate balance in which all life exists.

Up close, the artwork reveals a second and exceptional visual layer. The composition is constructed from exactly 67,600 carefully placed mini images derived from 290 unique paintings from the MikoArt portfolio. Each miniature contributes its own color, structure and detail. From a distance, these thousands of fragments merge into one coherent painting; at close range, the existing MikoArt oeuvre becomes visible as a world within the artwork.

This approach gives the piece a distinctive position within contemporary digital art: a new original literally constructed from fragments of earlier MikoArt creations. It unites digital painting, photo mosaic and the artist’s existing oeuvre within one layered composition.
