Cymon Padilla - Constellations

This body of work continues my exploration of contemporary culture through the lens of traditional oil painting techniques. Drawing inspiration from art history, pop culture, and algorithm-shaped media, I use classical tools like trompe l’oeil and anamorphic distortion to interrogate and indulge in the absurdities of this early 21st century. By merging historical methods with contemporary themes, my aim is to both critique and celebrate the constellation of contradictions in our digital age.
