Soundwaves and Sacred Geometry: Exploring Vibrating Patterns of Creation in Printmaking
by Bridget Modema
·
Artwork that captures the beauty of geometric patterns and electronic signals has become increasingly popular in the contemporary art scene.
"Soundwaves and Sacred Geometry: Exploring Vibrating Patterns of Creation in Printmaking" is a remarkable series that explores the fascinating relationship between sound, sacred geometry, and art. What makes this art project truly unique is the way in which it utilizes the digital medium to create prints that combine colour theory and pointillism to convey the interplay between soundwaves and sacred geometry in a visually aesthetic and thought-provoking way.
The use of pointillism in digital art is a technique that involves the creation of images using small dots of color. By using this technique, creates a unique and intricate pattern of dots that blend together to form a larger image. Color theory, on the other hand, allows me to create harmonious color combinations that can evoke different moods and emotions. By combining these two techniques, I can create an artwork that not only looks interesting but also has a deeper meaning and significance.
These digital artworks were originally created in 2014, but have never been exhibited before as a collection, making them even more exclusive and unique. The prints are produced with the highest quality materials, including museum-grade archival ink and Fabriano paper, ensuring their longevity. The prints will be available starting in March 2023, with only 11 editions available for each print. This rarity and exclusivity make these prints highly valuable for art collectors and enthusiasts.

Archival Ink and Its Importance in Printmaking
Archival ink and paper are essential for creating long-lasting, high-quality prints. Archival ink resists fading and deterioration, while archival paper is specially designed to resist discoloration and damage. Fine art prints made on archival paper can last for decades or even centuries without significant deterioration, making them valuable investments for collectors. Archival paper is typically made from high-quality, acid-free materials that resist fading and yellowing, and may also have special coatings or treatments for added protection. By using archival materials, artists and printers can create prints that will remain vibrant and valuable for generations to come.
The Importance of Sound and Sacred Geometry in Art
Sound and sacred geometry have been an integral part of art and culture for centuries. Sacred geometry is a universal science that allows us to comprehend the fundamental patterns of creation. It is a language of shapes and symbols that can be found in nature, art, and architecture. Sound, on the other hand, is a powerful force that can affect our emotions and wellbeing. When sound and sacred geometry come together, they create a mesmerizing phenomenon that can be captured in art

The Fascinating Relationship between Sound, Geometry, and Emotion
The relationship between sound, geometry, and emotion is a fascinating one. Sound waves have their own unique patterns that are in tune with our personal frequency. When we listen to music, the vibrations of sound can affect our emotions, making us feel happy, sad, or energized. Sacred geometry, on the other hand, reveals the pure pattern that has resulted from thought forms. When we combine sound and sacred geometry, we create a powerful visual representation of the interplay between sound, geometry, and emotion.
Pointillism and Color Theory in Digital Art
Pointillism and color theory are important techniques in art that add depth, luminosity, and movement to a composition. Pointillism involves creating an image using small, distinct dots of color that blend together to form a vibrant and textured surface. This technique, which originated in the late 19th century by George Seurat who aimed to achieve a greater range of hues than traditional blending techniques, resulting in a unique visual effect.
Color theory explores the science of color and its interaction with other colors in a composition. Artists who understand the principles of color theory can create harmonious and visually appealing works of art. They use the color wheel to create various color schemes that can create contrast, balance, mood, and convey emotions in a piece.
Both pointillism and color theory can be applied to digital art, which has become a popular medium in recent years. Digital artists can create textured and vibrant digital paintings that evoke emotions and convey meaning by using brushes, filters, and color palettes. Mastery of these techniques can result in visually aesthetic and emotionally impactful digital art.
