MOCA 7



"The Tree of Life" by Stefano Menicagli

Stefano Menicagli lives and work in Tuscany, Italy. He enjoys digital photography retouching photos, using Photoshop and digital painting images for digital manipulation. He became interested in fractal art and genetic mutations, genetically modified reality images. He utilizes Photoshop, Ultra Fractal and Groboto software in creating his works.

In regards to the image I chose, I like how he enhanced the earth and the tree as the focal point for the viewer to make their own interpretation of the image. This particular work was created in Photoshop. He quotes "The power of the real art is that to directly reach the brain and then to go down in the heart to release emotions. The role of the art is to raise the human spirit and increase the awareness of the beauty."
