The ascendancy of Digital Art in the 21st Century has been the result of a meeting at the crossroads of technological advances in computer science and the empowerment of the creative artistic mind. The surreal and fantastical artworks of Leo Alt are landscapes created of objects, organic substances and minuscule figures photographed on a micro-scale.
The vivid Nanoscapes are evocative of many scenes: dreamscapes, alien worlds, portals to other dimensions and more. The motives of the figures in the scenes have a mysterious ambiguity: Are they arriving or departing? Is this their home or are they travelers passing through? Their emotions are expressed only through their subtle, yet eloquent body language.
Leo Alt's artistic expression reveals themes liberated from the subconscious mind. The viewer often has a strange sense of Deja Vu - "I know this place - but that is impossible!" "Was this a dream or a nightmare?" An out-of-body experience?
