Warning: This ski may cause spontaneous teleportation to another universe where math had a baby with a rainbow and raised it on 80s sci-fi movies! I've been following Slovenian artist Nibera on Instagram for a while, completely mesmerized by her geometric retro-futuristic space vibes. So I reached out and she was totally down to collaborate. We started the process by looking through her work and agreed on the pieces that flowed well together, then stacked them tip to tail down the ski. Each section is like a different world that somehow flows perfectly into the next. Stare into the retro-futuristic shapes long enough on the chairlift, and you might end up getting off in another dimension! Nibera works primarily in Photoshop, using pen tools, gradient maps, layer blending, and textural techniques to create her surreal alternate realities. But here's what's really cool - she blends analog and digital techniques, often incorporating elements from old magazines, books, and natural objects she scans. She holds a Master's degree in Visual Communication Design and if that wasn’t enough, has created over 100 album covers for international musicians! The base is absolutely sick too, they’re going to look nuts launching out of the snow, like you're flying through space and time! Only 200 pairs made for you to take this interdimensional journey on The Escalator ski, each pair hand-signed and numbered so you don’t forget where you came from. Check out Nibera's art!
