'DerectumArt' is, thematically, the crystallized Light that shines across the infinite landscapes of the great Unconscious.

The artist behind the brand is Alexandru; He was born in Romania, grew up in Italy and currently lives in the UK, perfecting his digital art and writing fiction, philosophy and poetry. He is fascinated by mythology, storytelling, religion, spirituality, folklore, digital design, videogames and music.

He is currently working on illustrated fiction books (Scifi and dark, character-driven drama), and his digital prints. He also owns a podcast called ActiveImagine, dedicated to the exploration of artists and their journeys, as well as conversations on AI Art and the wisdom that experts in the industry can bring to younger, aspiring artists.

We Must Wake Up

0 min read
“We must Wake up To the sound of music. To the rhythms of poetry and the dance of particles. We must wake up from all these strange differences that have taken possession of our souls. From these peculiar, alien forms of chaotic thought that make us question and doubt who we are. That corrupt the past and turn history into guilt. That ignores mythology, with its truth beyond time. We must wake up from our Wilful Blindness to the uglification and decadence of culture. To the death of values and the tossing away, so pridefully, of tradition. We must wake up to our arrogant ignorance and insistence that there is, somehow, no God. How could this be when you awake every day with faith in tomorrow? How can this be when you make a pact with the future, only with the faith in its existence? In the path to your goal? Where else would God be if not in the emergence of the future?

[...] King Alyattes created the first coins out of electrum, out of the same alloy the ancient architects of the pyramids used for their capstones. Gold and Silver. How often are these indicative of ‘currency’ and ‘money’? And not just that — these two minerals have a strong bond with the history of our species.

A god we have all been worshipping for millennia. We could fittingly name him Alyattes. And what better way to dream it up than by asking our newly-invented tech that does nothing else but dream?"

Heya! I’m the fan of yours from Archive who left the longass reviews on Rise of the Blood God. If not for college I’d be reading more of your stuff. DeviantArt tells me its your birthday week, so I pass my wishes to you for a happy one, and for profound happiness that lasts far beyond your birthday and this new year of life. This week is reason for us all to celebrate someone who’s enchanted us with such enjoyable storytelling and visual artwork, both! 😺
