Live International Premiere @ Paris, March 31 2025 unveiling this new AI-Driven Digital Art creation on the online platform ARTstation #artstation
Studio SFB is happy to present the international launch of "1889 PARIS BELLE ÉPOQUE", an immersive digital art collection concept by the French/Italian multidisciplinary creator Stefano Dorian Franco on a Parisian's intemporal touch.
This exclusive series of 101 digital paintings forms a time-traveling visual reportage into the heart of Paris during the year 1889. Capturing the cultural, social, and emotional tapestry of the Belle Époque, the artworks immerse the viewer into the vibrant diversity of that era: from elegant aristocrats to popular working class, from art world to hospitals and jails, from new railway ways of travel to parisian cafés, from diplomats, inventors, flâneurs and shadowy figures hidden behind the façades of the World's Fair.
This creation is designed as a sociological journey through time, inviting viewers to explore how people lived in 1889, the year of the universal exposition of Paris marked by the building of the tour Eiffel... what the atmosphere felt like, and what the social conditions and contrasts were for the different classes and communities of that period.
📌 Authenticity Meets Technology
All characters, environments, and clothing styles are the result of meticulous iconographic research and compositional refinement, blending the accuracy of historical sources with the imaginative depth of AI creativity. Each scene reflects a high degree of fidelity to 19th-century Paris.
📌 Five Months of Creative Development
The 101 images were selected from hundreds generated and refined over a five-month period, curated into a coherent visual editorial that balances fiction and historical reconstruction.
📌 A Reportage Through Time
"1889 PARIS BELLE ÉPOQUE" offers an immersive journey through the heart of the Universal Exposition and beyond, revealing moments of glamour, mystery, labor, drama, love, solitude and spectacle. The collection reads like a forgotten photographic album, rediscovered over a century later.
📌 A Cinematic Approach to History
Inspired by the aesthetics of 19th-century photography, hand-colored lithographs and early cinema, the collection weaves a visual narrative between realism and dreamlike ambiance. Each image functions as a cinematic frame from a lost film about 1889.
The contemporary art premiere immersive exhibition will launch live in Paris, followed by an international tour, and a Web3 expansion, with the entire collection minted as #NFTs on #OpenSea using the #Polygon blockchain for secure, accessible distribution.
