From Brush to Algorithm: A Community-Driven Art Experiment
"Tales of Texture" is a collection of A3 sized mixed-media paintings, featuring unique and hand crafted textured elements (Texture Peelies). The series explores the dynamic interplay of vibrant, surreal neon colors and organic, earthy textures.
With each piece the artist invites viewers to explore the depths of their own imagination and uncover hidden forms and stories within the layered textures.
Online comments and interpretations of the original paintings inspired the artist to bring the comments to life using genAI technology. The aim of this exhibition is to continue the dialogue with the audience outside of the virtual and within the real world.
About the Artist
Danica Ružić is a Berlin-based contemporary artist whose vibrant and whimsical works captivate audiences, spark joy, and inspire self-reflection. Born in Zagreb, Croatia, Danica navigated frequent relocations in her youth, with art and family as her constants.
Her background in psychology fuels her fascination with the therapeutic potential of creativity. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Danica turned to urban sketching, which deepened her self-exploration and healing through art.
Her more recent abstract paintings, characterized by bright colors, magical creatures, rainbows, and glitter celebrate childlike imagination and invite viewers to embrace self-discovery.
Danica's mission is to inspire others, showcasing creativity as a powerful tool for healing and self-expression. She encourages celebrating the beauty and intricacy of the Self, advocating for authenticity and vulnerability in a changing world. She shares her passion in “Beyond the Brush: Alternative Art Practices” painting workshops, inspiring participants to create abstract art using recycled materials.
Her work, praised for sparking curiosity and evoking a sense of possibility, blurs the lines between reality and imagination.
