We are thrilled to announce the collaboration with the exceptionally talented Nat Sarkissian on the release of "In Deep Spring". Sarkissian, an artist renowned for their unique blend of technology and natural beauty, brings a fresh perspective to the new age of art on the blockchain. With a curiosity and a liking for innovation, Nat has embarked on a journey that beautifully merges the realms of code, nature, and art, resulting in captivating pieces that are both visually stunning and intellectually engaging. "In Deep Spring" is not just a collection of artworks; it's a testament to Nat's deep appreciation for the intricate beauty of the California landscape and a reflection of his ongoing exploration of digital media's potential to transcend and add elements to interpreting traditional artistic mediums.

"In Deep Spring" is a series inspired by Nat Sarkissian's road trips along the breathtaking California coast during a particularly vibrant spring, following an unusually wet winter. This journey, marked by the explosion of colors and forms in the blooms that adorned the landscape, serves as the conceptual foundation of the project. From the soft hues of poppies and lupines to the delicate textures of cosmos and daisies, each piece in the collection seeks to capture the organic essence of these natural spectacles.

Sarkissian's creative process is a fusion of art and technology, utilizing a sophisticated system designed for pen plotters. This approach allows for the intricate rendering of shapes and fills, creating images that, while digital, evoke the tactile qualities of physical media. The application of shaders to manipulate transparency and texture adds another layer of depth, resulting in pieces that are both complex and nuanced

The collection invites viewers to experience the dual perspectives of observing the floral landscapes from afar and examining the unique details of each flower up close. This interplay between the macro and micro views not only highlights the diversity within the natural world but also mirrors Sarkissian's artistic exploration of scale and detail.

"In Deep Spring" represents a significant chapter in Nat Sarkissian's artistic journey, blending his love for California's natural beauty with his ongoing experimentation with species of flowers. It is both a continuation of previous themes, such as the exploration of flowers and landscapes, and a venture into new technical territories, showcasing Sarkissian's evolving narrative as an artist who seamlessly blends between the natural world and the digital space.
