Renaissance 2.0

Muhju is a Swiss architect and digital artist whose Renaissance 2.0 brings the grandeur of antiquity, the Renaissance and the Baroque into a digital future.

Every piece begins as sculpture, modeled by hand in 3D. Building the figures in real space means the light falls correctly and the perspective holds. The render is then edited and painted digitally in 2D, pass after pass.
