The art works on this site are created by manipulating pixels within magnetic algorithms, allowing the pixels to be pushed, pulled, stretched and colored resulting in original paintings. My art has been influenced by several art movements. including, Abstract Expressionism, Color Field Painting, Op-Art, Geometric Hard Edge Painting. As a Techspressionist, I try to reveal the essence of forms, lines, space, and forces within well balanced, dynamic compositions which depict our common state of being within our environment and world order.
Digital painting programs are unique because they use algorithms to control light, color, form and texture in digital form. This new medium art requires mastery of all the program parameters in addition to knowledge of the elements and principles of fine art. The work on this site is printed on High Definition Aluminum to enable the finest rendition of digital color and form.
Each painting is dust, scratch and light resistant, frame-less and ready to hang.
Digital painting allows me to express unique artistic visions that I would not be able to render in any other medium.
