With Landscapes of Serenity, JSTNGRAPHICS wants to remind viewers of the beauty of the world around us. “Even though it’s not the real world in these artworks… they’re my world.” Each piece showcases a unique natural setting, evoking a sense of serenity and tranquility. The textures were all chosen carefully; every color has a purpose. These are compositions designed to transport you, evoking a deep appreciation for the wonders of nature.
“I’d want to see my artwork in the immersive world [of Lvcidia], where you can walk through what I’m feeling.”
Celestial Awakening
The story begins with this digital artwork, one of the artist’s favorite unreleased pieces. It sets the stage for a captivating dreamscape, introducing the theme of celestial wonders and contemplation. The use of colors transitioning from blue to pink to purple foreshadows the magical and ethereal journey that awaits you.
A lone palm tree sits below the stars, a glimpse of life in an otherwise barren land.
At its base, the woman gazes off, lost in thought. Wondering if this is all she will ever be, and all she will ever see.
Suddenly, a comet soars overhead. A wish manifested.
The old row boat drifts toward her, an invitation to something more.
“I found [Aeforia’s] work, and he always says that his work is about color, balance and emotion. I’ve used that… I want to make sure that color is really important in my artwork. Color and emotion are really the top [priority].”
Icy Passage
The second artwork comes next, providing a clear contrast to the dreamy ambiance of the first piece. Here, the viewer is transported to a frozen world with a serene, cool color scheme of blues and greens. This artwork introduces a sense of solitude and wonder, setting the stage for your journey into the unknown.
Past the dunes, a new landscape emerges. Monuments of crystal breaching the sea.
The cool air sets upon your skin, your every breath given shape. Darkness replaced by a mesmerizing light.
The Aurora dances in the sky, an ethereal bridge from the land to the stars. This world is alive.
Let the awe carry you through the night.
Hopeful Journey
Finally, the story culminates with this digital artwork. With warm yellow, orange, and light pink tones of a sunset, it symbolizes hope, optimism, and the beginning of an adventurous voyage. The girl in her rowboat, accompanied by majestic mountains and a giant planet, represents your courage to embark on a new and exciting quest.
Birds chirp in the distance. The smell of flowers in the air.
This voyage may never end, and why should it? There is always more to discover, more to explore.
You stare at the path ahead, a new planet finally within reach. This current can only flow forward.
If curiosity compels you, chase the light that lies beyond the sunset.
“I was telling [Fvckrender], ‘hey, you kind of inspired me to start this.’ When he reached out and asked, ‘I want you to be an artist for an Experience,’ I didn’t even give it a thought. I was like, yeah, I’m doing it, because it’s kind of a full circle moment…he got me into 3D, and now I’m doing a 3D drop on his platform.”

Landscapes of Serenity Pack
Curator’s Statement
JSTNGRAPHICS established a strong presence through surreal Dunescapes and impactful collaborations – 3LAU cover art, Dave Krugman and Josh Pierce, and a signature Dunescape with BT. Take one look at his landscapes and you feel a sense of Lvcidia belonging. They convey serenity at a scale that encourages self reflection of place in universe. One of Fvckrender’s earliest pieces is entitled MULTIPLE PATHS//. Justin’s works give me a sense of deja vu. These diverse color palettes, elements, and scenes feel ready for immersion and offer several paths to imagine yourself within in the future.
