As a painter, photographer and
digital/mixed media artist I am interested in studying and exploring images of
natural textures and objects, manipulating their visual information, layering
them and creating new perceptual experiences.
I
take my own photos, most often macrophotos and use several digital image
manipulation programs and applications to achieve a result that matches my
vision. My aim is to question our familiar habits of perception by means of my
abstract pictorial compositions. Therefore I try to utilize randomness to
transcend the limits of logic and create image layering combinations that are
unexpected and visually exciting.
The
digital process allows me to freely explore creative options and choices, take
risks and expand the range of possible imagery.
I
especially enjoy observing the results of blending layers of semi - transparent
images and watching what it can become. An underlying image is able to achieve
an unpredictable complexity of color and texture by adding visual information
from different layers or even a final painting layer.
Here, an abstract painting of mine was digitally dissolved into pixels in such a way that the result was the impression of a city facade with skyscrapers and streets as we know of New York.
