Chimeras is a semi-generative art project created in parallel to recent NFT art trends that explore automated means of image production. The purpose of this project was to explore the generative art idea trough the lenses of traditional media. All of the paintings were created by assembling differentiated art assets into a singular picture. All assets are traditional paintings created with oil-pastels, edited digitally and later 'generated' into 1/1 illustrations by hand.

Chimeras are built by combining different attributes into a singular picture. Usually we have around 6 assets combined into each illustration. Abstinence of attributes sometimes add artistic value to certain illustrations.

Each asset was made with oil-pastels on paper and then edited digitally. Usually I go with a heavy edit, yet it’s hardly felt because over the years I have mastered how to digitize
oil-pastels so they would retain their organic value.
