From Plexiglas to hologram: a path for layered artworks

We demonstrate the full-parallax holographic reproduction of a multilayer acrylic painting using the CHIMERA holographic printing system. The original artwork, composed of hand-painted transparent layers, was digitized, spatially reconstructed via holostereosynthesis in a three-dimensional environment and printed on a silver halide plate. This approach preserves spatial fidelity and artistic intent, offering a bridge between fine art and holography, with potential applications in cultural preservation, immersive displays and art education.
