A Moment of Release, from the series Lines of Tension. A looping red and orange gesture crossed by thin pink and green lines, with patches of purple, teal and blue on a pale ground.

Arched Tree with Waterfall Roots
Duncan Rawlinson made this digital artwork using artificial intelligence to explore themes of growth and continuity. A large tree with white blossoms and dark, gnarled branches dominates the center of an arched frame, its trunk visibly merging into cascading water below. The canopy glows softly against a muted gray-green sky, while streams in the foreground add motion and flow to the scene. Ornate decorative borders at the top lend a classical, formal quality to the composition. The palette—soft greens, creams, grays, and touches of gold—creates a calm, contemplative mood. This AI-generated piece combines natural forms with stylized architectural framing to suggest cycles of renewal.

Iris Over the City
Duncan Rawlinson created this AI-generated image, combining digital art techniques with a photographic approach. A massive eye-shaped formation hovers above a sprawling city and central structure, its deep blue iris and dark pupil dominating the frame. Concentric bands of teal and navy ripple outward like geological strata, softened by clouds and atmospheric haze. Below, a large structure anchors a radial urban plan, surrounded by farmland in terracotta and green. The composition merges anatomical and architectural elements, raising questions about observation, scale, and the boundary between organic and built forms. Cool blues and teals fill the upper portion, while warm earth tones anchor the lower third.

Cloud Tethered by Falling Light
Duncan Rawlinson created this image using artificial intelligence, merging digital art methods with a painterly sensibility. A towering cumulus mass hovers directly above a hilltop settlement, connected by countless threads of bright, falling light that descend like rain. The sky behind shifts from peach to rose, while the rolling countryside below stretches in muted greens and grays. The hilltop village, with its pale clustered structures, suggests a Mediterranean or southern European setting. The composition balances the heavy cloud form against the vertical streams of light, creating a strong visual link between sky and earth. This AI-generated artwork sits at the boundary between observed reality and imaginative possibility, presenting a scene that feels both impossible and oddly convincing.

Coral Cathedral III
The third and last piece in the Coral Cathedral series, Coral Cathedral III is an artwork Duncan Rawlinson created with AI. A dark teal coral tower rises from a flat, mist-covered plain, its surface marked with vertical ridges that look like organic growth. Three openings glow an intense orange, their edges appearing molten against the cooler exterior. The tallest arch sits in the centre, with two smaller openings on the left side. Above it the sky moves from soft coral to pale lavender. Low fog drifts across the sparse foreground, and unlike the first two pieces there is no figure here, only the tower.

Coral Cathedral II
Duncan Rawlinson made Coral Cathedral II with artificial intelligence, and it is the second of three pieces in the Coral Cathedral series. A lone figure walks across pale, sparse ground toward a structure that rises many times their height. The form shifts from coral pink at its base to turquoise at its crown, its surface covered in organic perforations and vertical ridges. Tall open arches cut through the centre, and narrow spires reach up into a soft pink sky. Fog hides where the legs meet the ground, which makes the whole cathedral seem to float. The empty setting and the single human presence give the architecture its monumental scale.

Coral Cathedral I
Coral Cathedral I is the first of three pieces in the Coral Cathedral series, an AI-generated artwork by Duncan Rawlinson. A towering arch grown from porous coral dominates the frame, its surface shifting from salmon and orange at the base to cool teal toward the crown. Irregular openings pierce the mass and frame the hazy sky beyond, so it looks both eroded by nature and deliberately built. A single small red figure stands at its foot, dwarfed by the scale of the form above. Patches of red coral scatter across the pale, textured ground and echo the colours of the structure. The piece is about isolation, scale and the blurred line between what is built and what grows.

Hollow Garden Curve
Duncan Rawlinson created this image using artificial intelligence, combining digital techniques with a color-focused approach to abstraction. Wide bands of emerald, rose, and gold sweep along a curved plane, resembling flower beds that fade into soft, diffused light. The piece functions less as a literal garden and more as an emotional impression—a memory of color and growth contained within a hollow, bending space. Fine detail dissolves into brushy strokes, leaving only hue and form. The work reads as both a cultivated plot and a pure chromatic composition, anchored by its imagined rather than literal subject.

Channel Island Shallows and Granite
Duncan Rawlinson photographed Channel Island from above in the Thousand Islands region of Ontario, Canada. The aerial perspective reveals pink-toned Precambrian granite bedrock surrounded by transparent water, with young trees rooted directly into the stone. Submerged rocks and shallow channels are clearly visible through the water, mapping the underwater topography around the small landmass. A single detached rock sits in the foreground shallows. The light is soft and even, illuminating both the island’s surface and the lakebed below. This image documents a characteristic feature of the St. Lawrence River archipelago, where exposed ancient granite forms thousands of small islands and shoals.

Chimney Island from Above
Duncan Rawlinson photographed this aerial view of Chimney Island, a small private island in the 1000 Islands region of Ontario, Canada. The rocky landmass is crowned with conifers and a single residence, its pale granite shoreline clearly visible beneath gradient waters that shift from teal to deep blue. A dock extends from the western edge, while a navigation marker appears in the upper distance, punctuating the open water. The shallow shoals surrounding the island appear in lighter hues, mapping the underwater topography. This overhead perspective reveals the characteristic Canadian Shield bedrock that defines the archipelago, where thousands of similar islands dot the St. Lawrence River corridor.
