Combining modern technology with\u00a0more traditional art techniques is an interesting symbiosis that can\u00a0produce magnificent results. A Miami-based Indian-American artist, NFN Kalyan<\/a>, took his hand drawn artwork and used a laser etching device commonly employed to make holograms; the result was spectacular 3D sculptures that wow everyone who views them.<\/p>\n

If you’ve seen The Cell (Jennifer Lopez’s ambitious acting attempt), you must remember the scene with the horse getting sliced into pieces. The method used for these sculptures is pretty similar. There are several drawings that have no meaning on their own. They need to be combined with the others present layers of a complex structure. With the right lighting, over 20 glass panels with drawings engraved on them using the laser become\u00a0one picture, creating\u00a0a realistic human face.<\/p>\n

Kalyan’s choice of models is quite colorful, from famous NBA player\u00a0Lebron James, \u00a0to the\u00a0Dalai Lama, to\u00a0Barack Obama. The exhibition, entitled “Nature of the Beast,” portrays people that Kalyan finds interesting in some way.<\/p>\n
