Upsidedow Painting

21th Century Conceptual Artist | Neo Futurism | www.milfont.art Alessandra de Norões Milfont lives and works in Curitiba. She has exhibited her work in various public and private institutions and events since 2012 in locations such as Curitiba, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Pontal de Maceió and Helmshore. The artist began her career with Fashion Illustrations: digital artworks, drawings, watercolors and ink among other techniques; which led her to design solo exhibitions, participate in group exhibitions and win awards. In addition to the illustration of a physical book about Fashion and the selection of her works for 4 consecutive years to integrate the e-book of the Fashion Revolution Forum, a non-profit movement that seeks a less aggressive and more transparent Fashion Industry that takes place simultaneously in different capitals of the world. Since 2017, the artist has been immersed in the current Technological Revolution, focused on the development of Artificial Intelligence. Her research involves futuristic essays on the Social, Cultural, Philosophical, Political and Economic implications that arise from this transformation. Currently her artistic production is focused on his growing curiosity for new technologies, the development of A.I. and its consequences. Milfont is looking ahead by relentlessly questioning what's next as these technologies gain awareness. In 2021 she wrote the Manifesto Robotisme, published in the Brazilian Book Chamber, inspired by Marinetti's Futurist Manifesto. A self-taught painter, she chose a language that contrasts the futuristic theme with the ancient technique of oil painting with natural solvents. The artist expresses herself with such intensity as most of her works. They are made with the centuries-old technique of alla prima (“wet-on_wet”). With striking, intense and expressive lines and images that have a dreamlike appearance, with slightly blurred contours, which gives us the sensation of observing a dream. Strong contrast and meticulously chosen exuberant colors permeate much of his works. Its provocative images evoke questions about the exponential development of Artificial Intelligence and its relationship with humans.
