Leo Villareal To Drop Cosmos-inspired Generative Art NFT
Prolific light artist Leo Villareal has revealed his next NFT collection titled Cosmic Bloom, on the NFT platform Outland. The NFT fine art collection uses custom live code to generate stunning organic cosmic photographs. The awe-inspiring digital images combine biological structures and atomic patterns to produce the same sensation we feel when gazing at the stars and the infinite universe. Learn more about this amazing project below!
What is The Cosmic Bloom Project about?
Cosmic Bloom is part of Leo Villareal’s “Cosmologies” NFT series. It is a follow-up to his previous “Cosmic Reef” NFT project which was dropped in January 2022. Furthermore, this is Villareal’s debut NFT collection with Outland – a leading digital art platform leading innovation at the intersection of art and technology. Cosmic Bloom also embodies the artist’s trademark style, using computer coding to generate complex, non-repetitive visual sequences in his light sculptures. Each piece of his next collection is unique and also combines sacred geometry with densely layered shapes and forms. Also, zooming in and out of the intricate artwork provides different levels and perspectives of continuously moving patterns.
These artworks will be brought to life via javascript code and will be hosted on IPFS (Interplanetary File System). In addition, Villareal will curate and handpick the final coins from the generative production to complete the project. Leo Villareal commented in a press release: “I’ve been working with code for twenty years. All my work is based on code, but then connects to light. In some ways, it is liberating to create purely digital works. I feel like I’ve just scratched the surface of what you can do with generative code in the browser.” Leo Villareal’s Cosmic Bloom artwork will be available exclusively on Outland starting December!
