I used to play video games growing up, but not as much as other people. As an adult, before I became blind, I returned periodically to a few video games, some of them for how much I loved looking at them. Yoshi’s Island (1995) was a two-dimensional, linear gameplay. But the backgrounds were made of several distinct layers that, from the bottom of the screen to the top, were rendered in progressively less saturated colors and which scrolled by at decreasing speeds, creating the impression of an enormous depth of field. In these two paintings, I wanted to create landscapes, the way some Romantic painters did, that convey a reverence towards the sublime vastness of the nature they embody.
