All Things Begin and End in Eternity 2022

Carrie Graber, born in 1975, made this digital artwork, titled "All Things Begin and End in Eternity," on a computer. Looking at the artwork, I’m struck by the dreamy, ethereal color palette, which is giving me Art Nouveau vibes. It’s a very stylized depiction, a bit like an Alphonse Mucha poster. The digital medium allows for seamless gradients, creating this flowing, almost otherworldly quality. I get the sense that Graber is interested in that space where identity blurs and boundaries dissolve. The title itself suggests a cyclical view of existence, which resonates with the artwork's soft, flowing lines. And the figure itself? It's giving me David Bowie, which adds another layer of complexity. Like all artists, Graber is in conversation with those who came before and those who exist alongside her. It reminds us that art is always in dialogue, always evolving. In a way, every artwork is a remix, a reimagining of what has come before.
