Renowned digital collage artist Julien Pacaud has also been experimenting with A.I. for a while now. After several collections published on various NFT markets, this is his first A.I. series published on Nifty Gateway. "Libera Me" is a set of 10 portraits, halfway between abstract and figurative. Inspired by the movie of the same name directed by Alain Cavalier in 1993, this collection of artworks depicts a profound tension between constraint and freedom, just like the characters in "Libera Me". We witness moments of vulnerability, defiance and hope, reflecting the universal struggle for emancipation from the constraints of society, self-doubt and circumstance. Taken as a whole, the series offers a powerful reflection on the human condition and the never-ending quest for freedom.
About Julien Pacaud
Julien Pacaud is a renowed digital collage artist and illustrator, born in 1972, living and working in Paris, France. Self-taught artist, he began experimenting with digital collage in the early 2000s after studying cinema at the École Louis Lumière. In parallel to his personal creations, he has also been working as an illustrator for the press, publishing, advertising and the music industry.
Favoring instinct and daydreaming, Julien Pacaud composes surreal digital collages from old photos patiently collected, then manipulated and assembled. The software replaces the scissors and the glue, and brings him other possibilities to organize the chaos. His images are as many opportunities to fall into a parallel universe (or "perpendicular dream") in which the past and the future, the improbable and the impossible, the intimate and the cosmic collide.
