The 3D digital artist Kushagra Gupta creates mysterious creations which blur the lines between photo-realism and abstract graphic design illustration. The Indian artist’s choice of art form transforms a 2D image into a satisfying textural and optically illusioned piece of art that often includes objects which feel as if they are protruding from the surface. His illustrations and designs are also animated and sequenced to give the illusion of motion. Gupta’s Pumpkin (2021) perfectly represents his distinct aesthetic and ability to transcend aesthetic boundaries through his 3D art making.
