Pure CSS - The vase and the finial

A conceptual, new-media-art website for the 'The vase and the finial' pure-css painting:

I will publish the name of the Collector on the website (if she/he wants it).

Concept

In logical order, an artist creates a work in such a way that first makes sketches and learns about the subject, then creates the artwork. Now my concept was to reverse this process:

the oil painting was made first (2012), then the computer-edited 2D version was made (2021);

The two images and this website where I present them together, is an interactive realization of a conceptual idea that presents the creating process. Separately examined, the painting is a realistic still life.

Why pure-css?

I made version 2D with pure-css. There is only one reason for this. I am a developer, and it was a challenge for me. In this form, it is also valid as an independent artwork within the code-art genre.
