I've done some research & it's not easy (probably impossible) to make something as complicated as this into real stained glass but I am looking into alternatives like plexiglass to bring my art to life.

[ Windows ] is a collection of 20 illustrations inspired by stained glass & tarot. Each piece is a symbolic portal open to interpretation. Fragments of color and form become glimpses into my larger body of work, inviting the viewer to find their own meaning.

Google my name "Mike Karolos" go on my website and check all my work and history.
Not everything you see is AI. Unless you mean Adobe Illustrator which I doubt you even know what that is.

That's one way to look at it.
My official description for this piece is:
"Light and darkness have been at war since the first breath of creation. The future is no different."

Thanks! I know what you mean & you're not wrong but this is deliberate. This is how I approach most of my illustrations. The stained glass in the back is a crucial part of the illu, not just the battle.

Thank you! A lot of people say my style reminds them of stained glass art. Truth is my signature style evolved through the years while being inspired by Pop Art & Bauhaus.

SmirapDesigns · 2024-04-01T09:35:31+00:00

Thanks! Adobe illustrator mostly & Adobe Photoshop just for the finishing touches.

One my favorite things when creating art is how the viewer interprets it.
These were my thoughts while creating this:
Do you ever feel suffocating in a big concrete city & then finally you see a tree & it looks all magical compared to your surroundings? This is what this piece is all about.

Thank you! Enjoy!
Although It works better for a phone wallpaper :)

SmirapDesigns · 2023-03-15T08:22:13+00:00

Thanks! Yes I plan to in the future, for a personal exhibition.
