Digital Art

Artists Describing Their Art:

Karin Kuhlmann - An outstanding feature of my abstract digital art works is the translucent, intensive color design with finely graded color harmonies and the painterly quality of the images achieved through comprehensive aritistic reworking with Photoshop. This makes each and every digital artwork to a one of a kind creation. The high quality of my digital files allows large fine art prints up to 75 inch....

Constantine Cionca - Constantine Cionca (1955, Romanian born, United States) is an artist who works in a variety of media. On his conceptual digital work Cionca tries to approach a wide scale of subjects in a multi-layered way that generates diverse meanings. By studying sign processes, signification and communication, he creates intense personal moments masterfully created by means of rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal. This results in the fact that the artist can easily imagine an own interpretation without being hindered by the historical reality. &...

David Eric Gordon - I try to remain open to all images or visual combinations that inspire me. One consistent element is that my paintings usually involve a process of building up layers through numerous revisions. I often paint over canvases several times, leaving portions of the paintings underneath partly visible. Covering an existing painting rather than starting from a blank canvas can lead to more unusual or interesting compositions by forcing me to make certain choices in responding to the material. The built up layers of paint create a rich surface that becomes an active element, revealing the process of experimentation and revision....

Karen Hochman Brown - I'm a child in my mother's garden. Flashes of color and light dance as I hold my first kaleidoscope up to one eye, close the other, find a source of light, and the rest of the world disappears while I endlessly turn, turn, turn. The light transforms broken bits of colored glass into perfect rays of symmetry. Identical triangles recede into the mirrors, creating vibrant patterns, effortlessly changing as I spin the tube while my heart beats in wild delight at the endless play of animations. I slow the spin, watch for an exceptional shape and stop. The momentary pattern is fragile, can collapse in an instant, so I hold very, very still. Even then, precision is required. Who would imagine that I was igniting a life-long passion for the swirling patterns of light and color born on a summer's day so long ago. Today my kaleidoscope is more complex. Computer software and hardware replace the simple tube of cardboard, glass, and mirror. I sit with a stylus and keyboard, watching the show unfold as I turn, layer, and spin the reflection from one of my photographs, brightly illuminated in my monitor. No longer restricted to ...

Michael Chatman - I create art as an expression of my interest in life in capturing the memorable scenes and ideas I have experienced. In creating an image or work, I first, picture the image or idea, then sketch on paper, measure the image to size and then transfer it on to a surface to start painting. Then I proceed to paint the areas of the image I have transformed, starting with the background and then the dominant features of the image, until I have a full painting. I mostly like to work in acrylic, although I can work in most mediums. I find that acrylics are easy to clean-up, dries quickly and is fairly forgiving, as long as one uses a lot of water. I also like working with digital art as I find it to be easy to work with, after learning the fundamentals, and can provide a precise and clear rendering of an image, as well as being able to enhance the image features. In creating Art, I want to leave a lasting impression on the viewer and make them feel as if they have been truly touched by what they've seen....

Dora Martinez - The fusion between imagination and technology summarizes the message in my work. Nature, city life and fashion are the sources of inspiration, The goal is to turn the simple details into new visual dimensions of light and color and to discover the infinite possibilities within an image. Through the years I accumulated a vast collection of photographs taken during my trips to Asia, Europe, North America and Central America. In 2002 the discovery process was initiated. Using the computer as the medium, I began experimenting with Adobe Photoshop, taking images to the extreme through digital manipulation. As for the present, I continue to find life and nature's uncontainable movement to be the creative platform in all my work. ...
