Adhemas Batista
I chose Adhemas Batista for my midterm project. Batista is a mixed media artist. His work has been sought after by Absolut Vodka, Adobe, Cadbury, Coca-Cola, General Motors, Honda, Microsoft, Nestlé, Nike, Nissan, Puma, Toyota and many more. I chose Batista because of his unique style of photography blended with graphic design. When I viewed Batista's portfolio all of his work had bold bright colors. Batista's brand is that he is "In the business of selling color".
Batista's visual style mixes strong photographs with strong graphics. His style involves enhancing images with the use of photo editing software. The use of organic graphics and swirls are present in all of his work. Batista also likes to mix the real with the imaginative. A work of art by Batista can immediately be recognized by his use of computer graphics that flow seamlessly with an actual image. The goal of Batista's style is to bring a story to life in one image.
Batista's work is heavily dependent upon editing software such as Photoshop and Illustrator; without this software it would still be possible for Batista to create the same images but the medium used would be entirely different and would take a tremendous amount of time. The use of Photoshop has enabled Batista to take his creativity to a different level. Through the use of software, Batista has taken the multimedia world by storm.
I attempted to create an image that is similar to a work of art by Batista in which he replaced the hair of a woman with vectors created in Adobe Illustrator; this process was much harder than I anticipated. Each vector had to be created individually in Illustrator and then added to the image in Photoshop. The vectors had to then be placed in an order that would work harmoniously together and further enhance the image rather than make the image look over-edited. Each vector that was added created a new layer in Photoshop and was able to be manipulated. I also added graphic flowers to the image. This project taught me the most about photo editing and allowed me to explore the possibilities that lie within Adobe's different software. I am now an avid follower of Batista's work and am inspired to try new things with my images.
