Future Mythologies (2023) Digital Arts by Gustavo Castillo

In the vast canvas of nothingness, a digital sculpture emerges that defies logic and reality. A turquoise-toned centaur, whose anatomy blends human and equine, bears a skull embedded in a night vision helmet, a strange amalgamation of the ancient and the futuristic. This figure, graffitied onto the white canvas, seems to defy the conventions of time and space, floating in a realm beyond human understanding.

Surrounding this enigmatic figure, dozens of vibrant-colored spheres dance: pink, turquoise, green, yellow, and orange. These spheres, with their bright and lively hues, contrast with the serenity of the white environment, infusing life and energy into the scene. Their presence suggests a sense of vitality and movement, as if they were portals to other worlds or manifestations of boundless imagination.

In my interpretation, this artwork encapsulates the fusion of past and future, myth and technology. The centaur, an ancient symbol of mythology, is transformed by modern elements like the night vision helmet, creating a narrative that challenges temporal conventions. The colored spheres, on the other hand, represent creative energy and the infinite possibility of the universe, manifesting the idea of a future where the absurd and the ancient converge into a new reality.
