About PAPIRO

Oil & paper.

40 digital artworks about ambition, iconic characters, sport and the good life. Each subject appears in two materials: thick, textured oil paint and layered paper collage.

These are AI-assisted digital illustrations, not physical paintings, licensed film stills or archival photographs. Desktop and phone editions are composed separately and exported as upscaled 4K JPGs.

The palette.

The contrast of the Ulysses butterfly’s blue wings and dark margins informed our original blue, ink and paper palette. The artworks have their own palettes; the interface stays quiet around them.
