2022 was an excellent year and a great comeback after confinement in Guanare. Mexico City was a highlight with its warm reception. A cozy December night was spent improvising and reflecting on the past year and the new one to come.

For my performance at the IPN I had prepared a patch on the VCV Rack and I wanted to do another set with it, this time it was an afternoon at home now without the pressures of being in front of the public, this time it was much more relaxed while having a tea, I…

El Martes fui a ver a mi amiga Maricarmen a un evento de acciones sonoras, donde estaba cerrando un ciclo en el Centro Cultural de España en México.

I held an extraordinary audiovisual presentation at the ‘Jaime Torres Bodet’ Cultural Center of IPN in Mexico City, organized by my friends Jorge and Gaby from F3 Studio in collaboration with the Cultural Diffusion Department of IPN. This marked my first live presentation in years and first three months in Mexico.

I was working on my next presentation at the IPN, a quiet night with a couple of beers.

I used an algorithm to create a unique visual experience for the music video of “Springtime in Croatia.” Starting with lines and dots, I created a neural network-like structure that reacted with sound, resulting in a mesmerizing display. The final result captures the song’s feeling perfectly, and I’m thrilled with how it turned out.

I was feeling a little more animated after a few weeks being a little sad, so I decided to take some self-portraits at home again, a way of saying that I’m still here, and that everything passes.

The next step after the Generative Algorithm was to continue using the generated forces to make more, and more of course are particles, their flow around the main structure gives the pieces more dynamism, it helps to better show the temporal sense in the space where exist and the invisible forces that create this universe.

I came up with this algorithm in Houdini that generates curved shapes from small simulations around the normal axes of abstract geometries that opened the door for everything that has happened since then in my practice as a digital artist.

Another experiment in generative art in VEX and Houdini, this time guiding the movement of the curves according to the sound.

Generative art experiment with particles and trails on Houdini, moving the particles over a VEX code generated geometry surface, leaving a trail of their movement.

NFT – Concept art for the online interactive project Spheres of Privilege, creative coding and motion graphics

Graphic design for the art project Spheres of Privilege, a combination of coding, generative art and motion design.

I rescued this project that was hidden and forgotten on the blockchain, and start this promotion for sale, hoping that they continue to give me satisfaction in this exciting new phase that I’m just starting as a digital creator.

Cover I made for the new book of poems by Pablo Rafael Rodriguez Lugo, a work done with generative art, using code first in Processing and then in VEX, Houdini’s programming language.

Live streaming music performance in collaboration with the Venezuelan artist María E. Pérez (Vermillion) for the Flashparty 2020 Festival, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

María E. Pérez (Vermillion) now presents us her new EP, Hybrid Xtended, which she did together with Chilean sound designer and musician Diego Yañez.

Valenine’s Day promo I made with Stato, an studio of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Again one of my posts is featured on the Ello homepage.

Experiment about soft bodies dynamics and pressure attributes in Houdini

My work was featured in the Adobe campaign Creativity for all, presented in the Adobe Max event in Los Angeles, California

One of my works was elected to be featured on the Ello editorial homepage, in 3D Typography

An exercises in the use of velocity volumes to move particles.

Reel of my experiments using Houdini’s new Vellum multi-Solver, showing a new skill set that I add to my work arsenal.

As usual after some animation project (at least the personal ones) I always like to design posters based on different scenes, and with VOLUMES it was not going to be different

Volumes refers to the use of Volumetrics (simulations of smoke, clouds and fire) to produce forces and geometric shapes that can generate an entire animation.

Vermillion is an experiment in ambient music, where are mixes synthesizers with self made instruments and other more traditional instruments of the South American folkloric music.

A couple of months ago I did another job with my friends of Térmica Estudio Creativo in Panama City, it was a fun project where I had the opportunity to use my favorites systems in Houdini

El trabajo de Mónica son unas muy bonitas ilustraciones en negro, tatuadas con una sencillez y increíble cuidado en los detalles, como todo lo que hace, Mónica podría ser la persona con quien me hiciera mi primer tatuaje.

Until recently I had not noticed, consciously at least, how present the yellow color has been in my photographic work.

Exercises of “Advect by Volumes” in Houdini, an easy way to uses velocity volumes to move particles, these are some of the results, render with Arnold Renderer.

Something I did a lot on my trip to Beijing was making IG stories, and some of them were good enough and I did not want them to be lost in 24 hours.

I found this group of girls dancing, with these spectacular traditional dresses, was something very fast, barely had time to take out my camera, within a few minutes they had packed and left, with no idea what it was.

Amidst the temples and hutongs is the modern Beijing, the great architecture, the skyscrapers, the entire highway system, high technology and fashion, what truly makes it a world-class city, it is what I enjoy the most and where I spend most of my time.
