The portraits in this collection are vivid chronicles that encapsulate the essence of our era's culture and the prevailing spirit of our times. Central to each piece is the element of animation, reflecting and exaggerating the dynamic nature of the subjects. Imagine the few seconds right before a photographer clicks a photo, played on an endless loop, capturing the fleeting moments that define the essence of identity. Aditya's unique approach involves drawing all elements in each frame multiple times, creating a painted, glitchy effect that feels both timeless and modern. This technique, coupled with the addition of grain and noise, adds depth and a nostalgic touch to his work, evoking a sense of spontaneity and intrigue. Inspired by the likes of Hayao Miyazaki, Studio Ghibli, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, Aditya's work is a fusion of meticulous detail, expressive style, and integrated text and imagery. His animations often revolve around simple everyday-life themes, aiming to provoke thought, evoke emotions, and spark conversations. Human connection, pop culture commentary, humor, and satire are recurrent motifs in his work. "Portrait Day" explores the intersection of celebrities and politics, the cult of personality, memes, and niche internet communities. Each portrait in the collection represents a unique story, inviting viewers to contemplate the complexities of the human experience. Through his art, Aditya seeks to evoke a deeper understanding of identity, urging us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of the ideas and people around us. Aditya's creative process is meticulous and layered. Beginning with an idea, he moves to storyboarding to outline the narrative and the scene, followed by keyframe animation, in-betweening, and adding color and effects. This thorough process ensures that each piece maintains consistency and coherence, seamlessly complementing the subject and theme of the portrait. His keen observations and interactions inform his work, making it not only relevant but also resonant with contemporary audiences. In "Portrait Day," Aditya offers a series that entertains while poking fun at the everyday absurdities we often take too seriously. Aditya hopes viewers come away with a deeper appreciation for the complexities of modern identity and the richness of contemporary culture. Each portrait, with its distinctive yet familiar style, serves as a reminder of the shared experiences that define our times, inviting introspection and a moment of appreciation for the world around us.
