Horse Dream

3D animation blended with AI layers

"I funnel my energy through the expression of abstracting and in some ways destroying or disfigurement, which in return touches on the idea of our mortality and the human experience. I use 3D sculpting software as my blank canvas. Most of my figures are sculpted out of pure unconscious movements. I do not sketch out or map out beforehand what the figure will look like. In some ways, [I'm] always creating new life."

About the artist

Jonathan Antonio Stamp

American

I'm a 3D digital Artist/ Designer working in a wide range of mediums from traditional to 2D and 3D digital mediums. I create animated videos fully produced by me from sound effects to the soundtrack and develop motion graphic content. I was born in New York City in April of 1989 but relocated to Miami at the age of 5. I'm of Afro Latino decent and representation in my work is a beautiful priority that I take full responsibility of. For a long time I didn’t believe in being visually seen as an Artist, it was the thing I furthest wanted to stay away from. There was no need for the audience to know who I am or even what I looked/ or sounded like. For what? My Art speaks for itself. The viewer is the integral piece to breathing life into my work. But as time has gone by, as I get older and extend further into the man I will die as, I’ve found out that I have misunderstood myself greatly as an Artist. That my words carry value. I am my father’s son and it is important my loved ones and anyone new to experiencing my work sees him in me and possibly my work. So ultimately I don’t mind if the audience does not understand me, it’s way more valuable for me not to misunderstand or mischaracterize myself. Being more visual as an Artist and or showing my face/ expressing myself through words, will accompany in making that connection not only for others, but more importantly for myself.
