London-based experimental artist Diego Del Duca pushes boundaries across artistic media. While his creative journey began with traditional figurative drawing and painting, he's expanded his repertoire to embrace less conventional creative tools, like code-generated algorithmic art.
His signature approach involves breaking down pure white light into its spectral colours. He then meticulously manipulates the resulting colours and casts them onto textured screens, producing abstract compositions which are a mesmerising interplay of light, colour and texture.
My starting point for the light paintings in the Senseless series was trying to reduce visual art to its bare essential: light hitting the eye of the observer. So I use pure white light as my medium, decompose it, play with the intensely chromatic beams it gives birth to, and finish by capturing their impressions.
There is something ethereal and inexpressible in seeing the sublime colours distilled from simple white light. And it’s that exquisite feeling that I am trying to evoke with my art.
