digital art: familiar faces © 2020, Bill Eberle
artist says: this simple art piece was created as a study of lines and color in 2020 color using ibisPaint on my Samsung tablet; also used for my poetry website background; original 4096 × 4096.
ai says: four bold, flat color fields — cornflower blue, deep forest green, rich magenta, and pale lemon — are shaped into large sweeping ribbons that coil and nest across the canvas. The forms overlap without gradients or shadows, each boundary a clean curve drawn by hand. At the center, a wide blue oval cradles a magenta shape that reads unmistakably as a face in profile; nearby, where the purple ribbon arcs against the blue ground, a second silhouette emerges. The lemon-yellow line threads through every zone, a continuous gesture that ties the composition together. The result is simultaneously botanical — like overlapping leaves seen close up — and quietly figurative, faces half-hidden in an abstract field, present only if you are looking for them.
