This work sought to simulate a still life painting, (maybe) painted by someone who (like me) uses art to express their feelings.

We all have people in our lives that we don't want to forget, or that we don't want to be forgotten by, whether it's a family member, a friend or a loved one, and just like the flowers represented in this work, our existence in the world is temporary. Afterward, all that remains for the people we met is the memory of who we were and everything we did.

Trying to be remembered, this person paints and creates to leave his mark on the world and in the lives of people he loves, to touch the hearts of those who admire him and to feel worthy of this admiration, but also, to feel proud of yourself.

For the pleasure of feeling alive with each brushstroke, for the desire to see his work being exposed to the world, reaching people that he alone could never reach, if it weren't for art!

Months were dedicated to this project, as the journey progressed this work became more personal than I could ever imagine. It became a reflection of what I felt, a simulation of the simulator, simulating itself, forget-me-nots.

FINAL THOUGHTS

'Forget-me-nots' is an important part of my development as a generative artist, and it will have a strong connection with my next work, which will be released on BTC by Genify. With the same style seeking to simulate brushstrokes, I will bring a work even more personal and deeper, with one of my favorite themes.
