Made in Europe - 10K HyperPixel digital print artwork download - PNG format

Made in Europe is a large composition of a true 10K (80 MP) size and the next image in the HyperPixel format to be released on ArtStation. Qualified as a HyperPixel, the image has an ultra high resolution while featuring beautiful fine detail as a result of progressive upscaling, enhancement and meticulous manual inpainting using state of the art tools of the Stable Diffusion technology. The product images include a ‘pixel morsel’, artfully cut out fragment of the master image meant to show the texture and intricate detail of this creation at the 1:1 scale.

• description

This artwork presents a large mysterious object resembling an ancient astrolabe, with components carved out of a blue marble. The mechanism, bewildering in its scale and complexity, seems to have ground to a halt some centuries ago. It has numerous objects embedded in it that could be recognised as a medieval scepter, a miniature football and football stadium, a TV screen showing Eurovision contest winners, a statue head of (apparently) an ancient scientist or philosopher, electronic circuitry and a screen displaying a Nazi gathering. The astrolabe appears to be still turned up to the skies, ready to resume its astronomic observations one day.

• what it is for

The main image does not have any other utility than to be enjoyed as a modern digital art piece. It is not intended to be used as a screen wallpaper (although you could use it that way if you like), or a reference, or an illustration. It is to be used more or less like large paintings of old masters were used: to be viewed at a distance, then studied up close in detail, marveling at the beauty of the fine detail and the brushstrokes - only the canvas is now your gorgeous LED screen, with brushstrokes composed of self-illuminating pixel patterns. Such is the unique richness of detail in this HyperPixel creation that, each time you pan or zoom somewhere in the image, you may discover something new, glimpse a nuance not seen before. With the size this large, and detail this dense, this image is an invitation to an endless visual discovery. 

• inspiration source and brief history

This artwork, executed in the novel CanvasInfusion style, is one of the two central pieces of the fractal geometry-inspired image series titled Fractal cameos. It is my homage to Europe, my home continent, with all its complex history full of incredible events, glorious achievements and unspeakable crimes of humanity, multifaceted culture, troublesome present and uncertain future. The artistic content of the image and the entire series draws on my longtime fascination with making fractal images, something that I have been busy with since the mid 1990s: a few of those images served as the structural basis for these new creations.

• the tools used

The presented artwork is a result of 2 year-spanning multi-stage development done using a range of state of the art AI-imaging platforms and tools, including but not limited to: Prompt Hunt (the original AI image generator), Leonardo.ai with its Phoenix model and Universal Upscaler, Krita, an advanced digital art creation and image editing software, and its Krita AI Diffusion Hires extension with the DreamshaperXL model.

• image format and preview options

The main image is of the 8420x10000 resolution; for the uncompromised quality, it is served in the lossless PNG format. A preview version is also available in the Encore Art AI portfolio feed.
