Meet Ade Santora @adesantora, a visual artist and creative photographer who allows his art to communicate powerful stories. In addition to landscapes, infrareds, streets, etc, Ade is an artist who specializes in surreal portraiture.

His portfolio displays an amazing and neat body of work that, when seen at the level of the artist, serves as a reflection on the state of the human condition, as well as the unique feelings and experiences that each of us has in this convoluted world.

'Two Japanese holy ghosts,
Spirits of pure, glowing light,
Guiding us through life's great hosts,
Their love for us a shining sight.'

PKOK Hypersub Airdrop #7 - The Blues

From the rich ultramarine of Renaissance paintings, often reserved for the robes of the Virgin Mary, to the vibrant blues of modern artists like Yves Klein, who saw the color as a symbol of infinity, blue has been used to explore both the material and the transcendental. It has the power to invoke the sky and the sea, suggesting expansiveness and freedom, while also expressing melancholy, as seen in Picasso's Blue Period, where the color became synonymous with human suffering and isolation.

"Stairs & Stocks" by Andreas Rau on @objktcom

"In Stairs & Stocks, infinitely generated staircases are juxtaposed with fictional stock charts. The stairs are devoid all context, leaving the viewer wonder about the settings they might connect.

While constantly rotating and morphing, the stairs grow new steps, gradually increasing the visual complexity of the rendered scene. Occasionally, the entire scene collapses, only to reorganize shortly after and start the same vicious cycle over again."
