Abstract visualisation: the dark tunnel into Herculaneum 8
Herculaneum, Italy - 22 October 2014
Located in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum was an ancient Roman town destroyed by a major volcanic eruption in 79 AD. In fact, it was completely buried. This image started off showing the dark and scary tunnel that leads to the now uncovered remains. But then I got adventurous and turned it into something more colorful and abstract, using a combination of Photoshop techniques including multi-layer blending, transformations and gradient mapping. I hope you like it

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Abstract visualisation: the dark tunnel into Herculaneum 8" takes us on a mesmerizing journey through time and imagination. Located in the haunting shadow of Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum was once a thriving Roman town until it met its tragic fate during a catastrophic volcanic eruption in 79 AD. Completely buried under layers of ash and debris, this ancient civilization lay hidden for centuries. The image initially portrays a foreboding and eerie tunnel that leads to the uncovered remains of Herculaneum. However, the artist's bold creativity took over as they transformed it into an explosion of vibrant colors and abstract shapes using advanced Photoshop techniques. Through multi-layer blending, transformations, and gradient mapping, they breathed new life into this forgotten world. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are drawn deeper into its enigmatic beauty. The layered effects create an intricate play between light and darkness while conveying a sense of depth and mystery. Radial symmetry draws our attention towards the vanishing point at the end of the tunnel, where steps seem to beckon us further down into history. This piece is not just about manipulation; it encapsulates both awe-inspiring archaeology and artistic expression. It invites us to reflect on how civilizations rise and fall while showcasing humanity's ability to find beauty even amidst destruction. Jon Bower's creation serves as a testament to our fascination with ancient wonders like Herculaneum – reminding us that even from darkness can emerge breathtaking artistry
