What is art? According to ChatGPT, art is a creative expression of human thought, emotions, and perception. It's true that art is an experience; it's a means of conveying or evoking emotion. It is in this quest for feeling that I have chosen to focus my subject around an artist whom I deeply admire. Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) is a Japanese artist from the Edo period (1603-1868), a time when Japan was relatively isolated from the rest of the world. Recognized today in the art world for his revolutionary approach in both technical and artistic aspects, I aimed to reproduce one of his great works in an innovative and effective manner: the Great Wave off Kanagawa.
By utilizing Microsoft Power BI and integrating elements processed with Photoshop, I recreated the artist's painting to give it a more modern look and better readability on the data analysis tool. By overlaying different layers, I breathed life into this wave and allowed the user to modify its color based on the theme of the selected artist's works. Thus, I merge two styles: the Hokusai style, originating from Japan, and the Pop Art style, more recent in the West.
Technically executed through different layers and the application of filters in a Treemap, my creation is primarily designed to be printed in large format and appreciated as easily as the life scene that artist Katsushika Hokusai captured nearly 180 years ago.
This dashboard was created as part of an internal competition at Actinvision company. This piece and several other dashboards were showcased during an exhibition dedicated to art and data.

I'm getting an error when applying the theme...

I have shared my PBIX file. You should be able to see the entire (simple) project setup 😉
Appreciate it!
