In this weblog post I make tributary *reply* to the artwork of Señor Armando by presenting a series of AI generated anti-thesis to art concepts imagined by the iconic painter. Armando Reveron was a native of the Venezuela subset of the Nueva Granada region of South America. He spent a considerable part of his life in France, Italy and Spain as well. 


Reveron was a modernist painter in his time (late 19th, early 20th centuries); utilising impressionist, pointilist and post-impressionist techniques to depict his concepts.

Reveron considered the tropical, warm, salt water sea adjacent Macuto coast of the Venezuelan Caribbean as his muse.

I propose as an anti-tropical muse setting; cold sweet water/ex-glacial Hammarö on the Värmland coast of Lake Vänern (Sweden).

The tropical, salt water Caribbean Sea is estimated to be 160 million to 180 million years old and formed when a horizontal fracture in Pangaea split the supercontinent during the Mesozoic Era. 

Old, salt Warm Waters.

Lake Vänern in Scandinavia is a sweet water sea. The southeastern part of the lake is a depression that appears to have been formed by erosion of Paleozoic-aged sedimentary rock during the Quaternary glaciation. The lake reached its present form after the Quaternary glaciation ended about 10,000 years ago; when the glacial ice sheet ice melted. Lake Vänern became a part of the Ancylus Lake that occupied the Baltic basin until about 8000 years ago. 

Young, sweet Cold Waters.

Obs!  Jag övervägde att använda samerna som likvärdiga med de första amerikanerna, men de bor i Norrland, inte i Värmland.

Disclaimer: AI technology is very new, so I do not know how copyright works with AI generated artwork. I propose that the META bot, Armando Reveron and I share credit for the generated AI output. I do so because I am a firm believer in crediting the technology. A lot of people at META spent a lot of hours coding and developing the bot. The product of their labor imput deserves credit. Also the imput of the investors and entrepeneurs that took a risk on the META AI venture. I set the parameters in reaction to concepts created by Armando Reveron. I came up with the concepts that the AI generated. As with a wikipedia entry; creating this weblog post was a joint effort.

A.N.M

Ps. Blogger also deserves credit for allowing me to present this tribute on their app. 🙃
