Narada Vantari

Local artist Narada Vantari is the author and illustrator of Understanding Sacred Geometry and the Flower of Life. His latest work explores AI’s ‘understanding’ of archetypal beauty and multicultural spiritual symbology and opens today.

Vantari uses a mixture of text-to-image generators such as Midjourney.com and Leonardo.ai, and Photoshop, to create exquisite images focused on themes such as multicultural angels, portals, geometries, and the human form. As well as the visual beauty, each image reveals the AI’s grasp of composition, colour, 3D depth, lighting, style, culture, and character.

The framed artworks have been locally printed on high-quality paper. They are very reasonably priced between $12 to $240 depending on framing and image size.

Also on display will be his handmade and 3D-printed geometries and jewellery, including original discoveries such as the toroidal projections of higher-dimensional platonic forms.

Evening presentations will cover the commonality of higher dimensional patterns to sacred geometry, AI and spirituality, plus, the incredible technological transformation of the world coming in the next handful of years.

The AI Art Exhibition opens today at 11am.

Friday 11am to 9pm (multimedia presentation at 7pm)
Saturday 11am to 9pm (multimedia presentation at 7pm)
Sunday 4pm to 9pm (multimedia presentation at 7pm)
