Description

Convergence is a pivotal work in the steampunk-inspired project, an expansive vision that began in 2021, anchored by The Titanium Angel triptych as its centrepiece. The series explores cosmic balance through a layered narrative spanning traditional paintings, AR, AI, and digital art, using contemporary iconography to depict concepts such as cryptocurrency, SpaceX, the Federal Reserve, and financial markets. Drawing inspiration from Michelangelo’s Last Judgement, Greek mythology’s titanic clashes, and the yin-yang duality of Eastern philosophy, it reflects humanity’s perpetual quest for equilibrium.

In Convergence, Talos the Bull and Artos the Bear encounter each other for the first time, a moment charged with intense anticipation. Their meeting symbolises the primal forces of the universe, initiating a cyclical tension between light and dark, order and chaos. This imminent clash sets the stage for an epic tale of life, decay, and renewal within a vast allegorical realm
