Mr. Charly Ponga
October 2023 – June 2024
In the year 2019, during an unforgettable journey, I first crossed paths with the enigmatic Mr. Charly Ponga. Have you ever met someone so mysterious and intriguing that they leave an indelible mark on your life? His extraordinary name originates from a special smoke blend crafted from the extract of the Diplopterys Cabrerana plant. Since that fateful meeting, he has become a loyal companion on all my adventurous voyages.
In 2020, I ventured into the captivating adventure of digital painting, mastering the use of Photoshop and a Wacom tablet. This particular artwork is the culmination of years of dedication and learning in the realm of digital artistry. It comprises approximately 500 layers of meticulously hand-painted elements, PNGs, Midjourney creations, and Corel Draw vectors, all intricately woven into a complex perspective grid. The creative process was often a formidable challenge. Thus, it fills me with immense pride and joy to unveil it at O.Z.O.R.A. 2024 for the very first time.
The funky patterns and vibrant colors in this piece are like a visual echo of those wild, otherworldly realms you might glimpse on a DMT trip. Imagine being immersed in a kaleidoscopic tapestry, where every shape and hue pulsates with life. But it’s not just the incredible geometric, three-dimensional, super creative worlds that fascinate me, but also the lessons Charly has taught me. For instance, through him, I learned to quit smoking cigarettes. These journeys have always been so intense and colorful that it was only a matter of time before they became the inspiration for my blacklight 3D art.
