Gradient

Note

In computer graphics, a gradient is a smooth transition from one color to another. It is also called a color ramp or a blended fill. Gradients are widely used to create images, simulate lighting, shadows, and to give objects volume.

In artistic practice, limiting the palette is not unique. Consider masters like G. Morandi ↗ and R.Ryman ↗ in color, or E. Nolde and A. Warhol in form. Reducing the visual means enhances the emotional charge of a work and helps the artist master their tools and materials with virtuosity, which always impacts the viewer.

Limiting the digital palette allows one to focus on the quality, composition, and conceptual depth of the work. We discard everything and keep only gradients and their parameters. It's just a few lines of code, but they open up a universe of digital alchemy.

If, during the Renaissance, Leonardo or Botticelli made their own paints from plants, clay, and minerals, then in digital art, the fundamental elements from which a painting is composed are numbers and code!

Strict functionality: minimum means, maximum result!

What began as digital paper has evolved into an exploration of the profound principles of digital graphics, the foundation upon which it stands, and a creative mastery of this new space.

Warning

If a gradient needs to be printed in a 3x3 meter or 6x6 meter size for an event, this must be coordinated with the author. For such a large size, the work needs to be technically prepared.
