What
Visual narrative and its
importance in art and in
the industry
Nowadays, we are exposed to an endless stream of artworks that are technically good but are soulless and leave you indifferent and desensitised. An almost infinite amount of images that not only look very similar to each other but also struggle to offer anything new or relevant. So what is this immense amount of artworks missing? Or a better question instead, What makes a piece of art connect with the audience, to emotionally and intellectually resonate with its viewers in a compelling way? Join me into this talk about the vitally important topic of using and incorporating visual narratives into your process so you can elevate your art to a new level. A key skill and tool to master so you can stand out with your own artistic voice and personality from other artists. Something specially relevant nowadays with the challenge caused by the disruption of new image generation programs, wrongly called AIs.
