In Motion: Three Visual Studies Inspired by Contemporary Artists
Monday, August 12, 2024
In Motion
This new series of three short visual pieces was born from an urge to make stillness move — to take the language of visual art and translate it into motion. Each fragment is a small exploration of how form, texture, and rhythm can breathe differently once they escape the frame.
I. The Living Line — inspired by @christoph.draw
There’s this incredible Colombian artist, @christoph.draw, whose visual world feels alive. His work has this tactile balance between structure and looseness — every line seems to think for itself.
There’s a particular piece I couldn’t stop watching, but I wanted it to move. I wanted the tension of his strokes to unfold through time. So I tried to recreate it — not to imitate, but to let it breathe differently, with small moving parts that carry his rhythm forward.
It became a dialogue between drawing and direction: how a line drawn by hand can transform when light and sound enter the frame.
II. Experiment Without Fear — inspired by @diggy.mt
The second video comes from the experimentation of @diggy.mt, an artist whose work feels both playful and deliberate. His compositions are not about control — they’re about curiosity.
Watching his process reminded me that exploration itself is the point. There’s freedom in trying without expecting, and I wanted to carry that energy into my own medium. This piece is about intuition: light that changes direction, motion that doesn’t repeat, color that doesn’t settle.
It’s an homage to the kind of creativity that asks “what if?” — and doesn’t need an answer.
III. Mosaic of the Unspoken — inspired by @sangwo0
Finally, this third study takes inspiration from the mosaics of @sangwo0. His portraits hold something beautifully stern — a hardness in expression that hides deep emotion beneath geometry.
I was drawn to that tension, to the stillness of faces built from fragments. In motion, those fragments gain fragility; they breathe, tremble, hesitate. The goal wasn’t to beautify them, but to honor their weight — to let the mosaic become human for a moment.
Closing Note
These three works are experiments, but also confessions: attempts to understand how movement alters meaning.
From @christoph.draw’s delicate control, to @diggy.mt’s fearless exploration, to @sangwo0’s emotive structure — each inspired a new way to feel through the frame.
Filmed with iPhone and Moment lenses, each piece exists halfway between painting and film — a reminder that motion can be as quiet as a brushstroke.
