This piece was inspired by Felipe Pantone who, in my eyes, is a pioneer in terms of combining digital and print art. So after beeing a fan of his art for a while I tried to recreate a kind of gradient he uses in pretty much every artwork. I used the final gradient as a HDRI to light my scene inside of Cinema 4D. The torus just has a 100% reflective material on it to reflect as much of the texture as possible.
