Title: Where the Sea Ends, We Rise

Author: Arturo Hernández Santodomingo

Series: Legacy in Neon

Technique: Hyper-realistic digital composition

Year: 2025

Location Reference: Based on a photograph taken by the author at Pobla Marina, Valencia (Spain)

---

Description:

Where the Sea Ends, We Rise is a hyper-realistic digital composition that reimagines the mouth of Pobla Marina (Valencia) as a threshold between worlds. The scene originates from an original photograph taken by the author, Arturo Hernández Santodomingo, and transforms into a futuristic landscape where the sea and sky retain their essence, yet are traversed by elements of science fiction and speculative architecture.

At the center, a colossal spaceship forged in iron rises from the water, covered in metallic scales that reflect the light of sunset. Around it, human figures in fitted suits and mechanical wings soar through the sky, while other similar ships have already taken flight and vanish into the distance. To the left, a stylized lighthouse watches over the scene from the rocks, and on the horizon, a monumental city of glass and metal emerges—its spherical and linear structures evoking an advanced civilization.

In the foreground, a fish leaps from the water with a defiant gaze, as if recognizing the viewer. The piece is rendered in landscape format, with high-definition digital textures, and belongs to the narrative universe of Legacy in Neon.

Where the Sea Ends, We Rise es una composición digital hiperrealista que reimagina la bocana de Pobla Marina (Valencia) como un umbral entre mundos. La escena parte de una fotografía original tomada por el autor, Arturo Hernández Santodomingo, y se transforma en un paisaje futurista donde el mar y el cielo conservan su esencia, pero se ven atravesados por elementos de ciencia ficción y arquitectura especulativa.

En el centro, una nave colosal forjada en hierro se eleva desde las aguas, cubierta de escamas metálicas que reflejan la luz del atardecer. A su alrededor, figuras humanas con trajes ceñidos y alas mecánicas surcan el cielo, mientras otras naves similares ya han despegado y se pierden en la distancia. A la izquierda, un faro estilizado vigila la escena desde la roca, y en el horizonte se alza una ciudad monumental de cristal y metal, con estructuras esféricas y líneas rectas que evocan una civilización avanzada.

En primer plano, un pez salta desde el agua con mirada desafiante, como si reconociera al espectador. La obra está realizada en formato apaisado, con texturas digitales de alto realismo, y forma parte del universo narrativo Legacy in Neon.
