About This Artwork
“Surf’s Up” is a breathtaking explosion of fluid energy. The composition is dominated by a deep, dark central vortex that seems to be pulling the surrounding blue and white light into it like a whirlpool. The sharp, crystalline lines of light curve and intersect with incredible speed, creating a visual sensation of riding a massive wave or travelling through a wormhole. It is an incredibly dynamic and captivating piece.
The Artisan Process: Digital Layering & Light
These are not AI-generated images. Every piece in the Luminous Art Collection is a masterful digital composition created by Michael Paul Bennett.
The process begins with original photographic elements. Using Adobe Photoshop, Michael converts the images into Smart Objects and begins a meticulous layering process. He applies the Mezzotint filter—which includes long strokes—alongside distortion techniques like Twirl to create a rich, textured base. Next, he adjusts the colour balance of these individual layers and changes their blending types.
Finally, Michael takes the artwork into Adobe Lightroom to deep-dive into the shadows, achieving that signature deep black background and vibrant colour pop. Because of this painstaking manual process, every piece is a unique fusion of photography and digital artistry.
