Fascinated by the baroque painting of Caravaggio, the digital artist Slasky creates classical works of art elaborated using digital art techniques. With his classical neo-urban style, he unites tradition and modernism, bringing the protagonists of the original artworks into modern-day social and artistic environments. By inserting the characters from the original works into contemporary spaces, he has created new images that send completely different messages to the original concept and idea with which they were created by their authentic creators, shockingly capturing the viewer's attention and, at the same time, requiring a level of collaboration from the viewer in order to be understood.
The works have an immediate sense of familiarity, but presented with an injection, sometimes explosion, of colour and life that absorbs them with richness and modernity. Details take centre stage in his works, using contrasting colour techniques, textured backgrounds and screen printing to create the same subject matter in a variety of ways, separating it from its traditional backgrounds.
