17: Viola Van Pelt

I am deeply influenced by my admiration for the Flemish masters and my fascination with quantum physics. I use digital tools and techniques to create pieces that are both visually striking and conceptually engaging while also drawing inspiration from the techniques, styles, and themes of the Flemish masters such as Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden and Hieronymus Bosch, and incorporating concepts and principles from quantum physics.

I am particularly interested in exploring the relationship between technolo- gy and tradition, and I often use my art to comment on the ways in which the digital and physical worlds intersect. My work is also inspired by the Flemish masters’ use of geometry, composition, and perspective to create powerful
and emotive art, and by the seemingly strange and mysterious nature of quantum physics, and how it can be applied to our understanding of the world.

In my practice, I often use a combination of digital tools, such as graphic soft- ware, generative algorithms and 3D modeling, to create pieces that are both visually striking and conceptually engaging, while also incorporating concepts and principles from quantum physics, such as uncertainty, non-locality and superposition.
