In the “House of Gods” by Adam Martinakis, he explores the supernatural balance between heaven and earth through 3D art. I admire the solid shapes and colors, light in juxtaposition with darkness, and Greek mythology influences. Each statue, depicting ancient gods, is crafted very delicately with the emotional intensity of a real marble figure. Adam Martinakis’ work revolves around the intersection of humanity and the unknown- through 3D image rendering, digital sculpture/video, and computer-generated visual media. I appreciate the ambiguity of his art, which produces a wide variety of interpretations. As a member of the Greek Chamber of Fine Arts, and trained in ceramics/architecture in Athens, Martinakis utilizes this expertise in order to craft a new technological perspective on history. In the “House of Gods”, the art combines themes of realism and industrialism (through ladders, stairs), and mythical (unique textures, glowing artifacts, gods.)
