After the Human

After the Human is a striking fusion of cybernetic futurism and raw human expression, captured through powerful, textured strokes and unapologetically bold color. The figure—a sleek, humanoid form with mechanical anatomy exposed beneath vibrant paint—stands poised against a vivid red backdrop, exhaling a ghostly plume of white. The effect is both haunting and coolly detached, like a memory of humanity lingering inside something no longer entirely human.

Thick layers of paint create a tactile, almost sculptural surface, while the neon blues, yellows, and purples collide with deep shadows to form a portrait that feels alive, electric, and emotionally ambiguous. The sunglasses obscure the figure’s eyes, adding an air of mystery—an icon of rebellion in a post-human world.

This piece captures the tension between evolution and identity—what remains of us after the flesh gives way to machine, and what new beauty emerges in its place.
