The DNA of Light - Painting with the Colors of Light
The fascination of light and its spectral components led us to the DNA
of light. With templates on the art themes and the components of the
DNA of light in terms of color selection, color mixing, intensity and
and direction, images are created that represent a new form of
artistic expression.
The creative process is very similar to painting.
Just as the painter consciously chooses, mixes and applies the colors
to realize his image ideas, we choose the proportions of the DNA of
light and their mixtures to realize our ideas.
Ideally, the printing of the images can be done on plexiglass because
of the brilliance of the colors. This opens the possibility of colored
backlighting of the paintings with LED technology. This changes the
colors of the painting. For example, red becomes less intense, blue
glows more, green is more vibrant or vice versa. This gives the owner
of the painting the possibility to choose the color combinations of
his painting with a remote control. The change can also be done
automatically in an endless loop.
The fascination of color change in the picture is a completely new
form of artistic expression. The picture becomes a light and
influences the light-color climate in the room. The room appears
cooler or warmer as a result. All pictures are reproducible.
