Cosmodernism
"What I create is my personal abstract expression, which is based more on feeling and atmosphere than on meaning."

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Experience Microchemical Retrofuturism
Kamil Czapiga is a Polish artist whose journey began in childhood art school. Initially focused on graphic design, he later ran his own tattoo studio for over a decade. In 2019, a microscope inspired his Cosmodernism project, merging science, music, and art.
Known for his abstract audio-visual creations, he captures fleeting, unseen moments, transforming them into precise, immersive expressions that reveal the hidden beauty of the microscopic and ephemeral.

THE COLLABORATION
Merging Fluid Dynamics with Swiss Craft
For his collaboration with VIEREN, Cosmodernism applied his signature technique to an entirely new medium: the watch dial.
Capturing his signature ephemeral art through microscopic observation, he embraced the challenge of freezing a fleeting reaction in a permanent form. Using alcohol inks and manipulating temperature and air, he crafted an intricate composition that fused the unpredictability of fluid motion with the precision of Swiss watchmaking.

"When creating the watch face for VIEREN, I spent many hours in my studio trying to optimise the creation process with the intention of stopping the reaction in time."

THE INSPIRATION
The Fleeting Beauty of Time
Cosmoderism’s relationship with time is deeply personal. He seeks to lose himself in the creative process, deliberately avoiding clocks and the pressures of time.
For this collaboration, however, he faced a paradox: to preserve a moment that would normally dissolve. He had to figure out how to transform his ever-changing art into a captured reaction frozen in time. After countless trials, he perfected the technique, turning his transient art into something lasting.

"When I work creatively, I like to lose myself in the process, without being aware of time passing."

THE CREATIVE PROCESS
From Trial and Error to The Perfect Moment
His artistic journey is defined by experimentation, rooted in trial and error. With no formal scientific background, he mastered fluid dynamics and chemical reactions through hands-on exploration. For the VIEREN watch, Cosmodernism used alcohol inks and special substances that reacted unpredictably with dyes.
The challenge was to control these reactions on a tiny scale and capture the perfect moment before it disappeared. Unlike his films, which prolong the process, this piece required freezing it. The paints were designed to dry into permanent patterns, and the small dial size meant repeating the process—dissolving, cleaning, and reapplying—until achieving the ideal balance of fluidity and permanence.
