Caeruleoflavus

Caeruleoflavus is an intriguing digital artwork that captures the essence of light and refraction. The title itself, derived from Latin, meaning “Blue-Yellow,” hints at the unique and captivating nature of this piece. However, the real magic of Caeruleoflavus only becomes apparent when viewed through a prism.

The shapes themselves are unique, with varying degrees of complexity and intricacy. The black shapes provide a contrast that helps the other colours pop. The title of this piece may seem odd considering the primary colours of the artwork are red and green rather than blue and yellow, however the colours of the artwork change dramatically when viewed through a prism. The red that was once bold and intense, transforms into a serene and calming shade of blue, while the green that was once bold and dominant, turns into a warm and inviting shade of yellow as seen below.

It serves as a reminder of the boundless creativity and imagination of the human spirit, pushing the boundaries of art and perception to new heights.

Caeruleoflavus transcends the conventional notions of light and colour, creating a perplexing visual experience. It is a masterpiece that captures the essence of artistic expression and the wonders of perception, inviting the audience to embark on a journey of awe and inspiration.
