tartaruga feliz’s playful AI animations encapsulate youthfulness and dream-like energy

tartaruga feliz explores the intersection between art and ai

 

Combining her passion for spirituality, illustration, and technology, Brazilian illustrator Tartaruga Feliz presents her experimental series of digital artworks, animated using artificial intelligence (AI) and Pleiades. In the form of gifs, the illustrations explore energy, psychology, and self-awareness, inspired by a playful sense of youthfulness. The dream-like images are rendered in a somewhat ‘naïve’ and whimsical illustration style, seemingly expressing emotive brushstrokes of paint and ink, and coarse marks of charcoal that are brought to life digitally. Rhythmic motions seamlessly meld various frames together, transforming initially distorted and indistinguishable depictions to slowly reveal curios forms of faces and animals.

dream-like animations intuitively reveal whimsical forms

 

Continuing her exploration of designs that revolve around children, spirituality, and healing, for the first time Tartaruga Feliz experiments with a new creative process which fuses AI and intuitive traditional painting. Each image in the designer’s new series has been created initially in physical mediums such as paint and ink. With the intervention of AI, each illustration then rhythmically shifts and melds in an instinctive, dream-like manner to give form to identifiable shapes and faces.
