This digital artwork, created using GIMP, falls within an abstract and geometric approach , where the precision of shapes meets the fluidity of transparent overlays. Geometric rigor and poetic mystery are central themes. The image evokes a duality between technology and the organic . The central circle appears to float above a fragmented cartographic base, suggesting an interaction between humans and complex systems—such as networks—or even a metaphor for consciousness.

The transparency of the concentric circles and their overlay on an urban or architectural grid blur the boundaries between planes, inviting the viewer into an active visual exploration . The work plays with the idea of layers of reality , as if multiple dimensions coexist within the same space.

For the upcoming release of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS ‘Resolute Raccoon’, I have designed a wallpaper that celebrates 20 years of LTS releases. My work is inspired by the iconic curved lines of the original Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake wallpaper, blending that nostalgic aesthetic with modern light and dark theme standards. I created both the wallpaper and the mascot using Inkscape and Blender on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS. I hope you enjoy it!

I think that I can upload 《Ubuntu with Frutiger Metro》 again here. The wallpaper in Digital / Abstract Theme uses a style similar to the wallpapers of jdituicha(Frutiger Family Styles). If I upload the wallpaper, which won last Competition is not OK here. I will delete this reply.

Description: A single-shot photograph of the Balneário Camboriú skyline in Brazil, captured under a dramatic sky. The image was carefully post-processed and retouched in GIMP to enhance the natural contrast between the moody clouds and the city’s coastal architecture.

This image evokes an aesthetic where geometry leans toward an almost organic complexity.

This abstract and geometric visual composition, created using GIMP, consists of an irregular grid of squares and rectangles of varying sizes, reminiscent of a pixelated mosaic. The dominant warm and cool colors create a striking visual contrast.
The arrangement of the elements appears random, yet it forms a cohesive overall structure, with a gradual transition from darker colors to lighter ones in the top right. The overall effect evokes a dense and complex texture, almost organic despite the geometric precision of the basic shapes.
The use of color and fragmentation is reminiscent of stylized data visualizations.
