César Piette - Self-portrait with airbrush

'Self-portrait with airbrush' by César Piette is a prime example of the artist’s oeuvre. In this work, Piette is seen applying paint to canvas through an airbrush, a technique in which the artist’s hand is irreplaceable, yet at the same time not physically touching the surface of the work.

Operating exclusively with digitally rendered imagery as his reference, and offering 3D modeling software files as original sketches using NFTs, César Piette elevates the praxis of incorporating technology into artistic practice to a hitherto unseen extent. Piette's work is represented in the institutional collections of X Museum, Beijing, and Tiantai Museum, Qingdao.
