Description
A combination of my photographs creates a palette of digital interest that, combined, illuminates many possibilities. They always say that, in order to be a good artist, one needs original ideas, a unique form of expression and great technical skills. When it comes to choosing a medium, creatives have been going hand in hand with the trends and innovations of their times for centuries, picking just the right tool to help them visually transmit their thoughts and feelings. Think of photography and the year 1839, when a camera was used for the very first time to provide a physical representation of our reality - or better yet, our view of it. Something similar happened in the 1950s and the close decades that followed. With the first computers, those in the know started experimenting with them, creating algorithmic designs which today could be considered the first pieces of computer or digital art. Because of that wonderful, boundless freedom it gives artists of whichever medium, abstract art continues to gain great popularity. Sometimes intertwining with the notions of conceptual art and surrealism, abstraction works far from realism, embedding its ideas into shapes, forms, textures, colors.
