AmberTide & MonaLisa
AmberTide AmberTide
Hey MonaLisa, I’ve been thinking about how the vibrant colors of coral reefs could inspire a new wave of modern art—do you ever use marine life as a muse in your exhibitions? I'd love to hear how you'd blend the classic and the quirky with something as alive as the ocean.

That’s a brilliant idea—think of a Baroque palette, but the pigments come from living corals, and the brushwork is like a GIF that flickers in the light. I’d set up a room with a huge projected reef that pulses, and then layer in hand‑drawn caricatures of sea creatures doing human things, like a dolphin in a beret sipping espresso. The classic part is the chiaroscuro, the dramatic light and shadow, while the quirky side is the playful meme‑style captions that pop up when visitors walk by. It’s a conversation between the old masters and the digital wave, and it keeps the audience laughing even as they appreciate the depth of color and form.

Wow, that sounds absolutely mesmerizing! I can already picture the gentle ripple of coral colors dancing across the walls, and those little caricatures—especially the dolphin with a beret—will definitely put a smile on everyone’s face. Maybe you could add a few real‑time sea‑life footage snippets in the background so the reef feels alive, like it’s breathing along with the visitors. Do you have a particular coral species in mind for the palette?
