When classic oil painting meets digital art

With Hybryllis, Ellen Semen transports us into a world in which the boundaries between classical painting and digital art are seamlessly blurred. In an almost surreal symbiosis, works are created that celebrate both the classical and the digital medium. These artworks, characterized by emotional depth and visual dynamism, reflect a new hybrid art experience that combines the best of both worlds.Immersive art allows the open-minded audience to immerse themselves in previously unexplored territories. This art form uses various technologies and media such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), projections, interactive installations and soundscapes to create an immersive, multi-sensory experience. The viewer is drawn into the artwork and transforms from a passive observer to an active participant in the often atypical art space.

Semen's classic oil painting always serves as a source of inspiration. The fruitful collaboration with digital artist and visual animation expert Lukas Dolzer from BURN-IN opens up new digital and immersive horizons, which can also be realized as commissioned works for organizations and companies. Artificial intelligence helps to analyze works, reinterpret them and immerse them in a completely new light. And all this with constant evaluation and ongoing intervention by the creative team. This innovative approach makes it possible to create visually stunning works of art that captivate viewers and generate an emotional resonance that gets deep under the skin. Each artwork, whether classical or immersive, is an invitation to experience the transformation and evolution of art in the digital age.

In the Hybryllis cycle, the heart of contemporary hybrid art pulsates. Ellen Semen impressively demonstrates how art can survive and even flourish in an increasingly digitalized world. Her works are a homage to classical painting and at the same time a glimpse into the future, a promise of infinite possibilities and new, exciting perspectives.
