Digital art




“Digital art has a smaller environmental footprint compared to traditional art mediums, as it eliminates the need for physical materials such as paper, canvas, and paint. By embracing digital tools, artists can contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly creative ecosystem. It encompasses so many different avenues, it can be hard to break the definition down into something simple, but for our purposes, the definition of digital art is: Art made using or facilitated by software, computers, or other electronic devices. Digital art has enabled artists to unearth their creativity further. Artists can advance their work and improve their talent through new materials, mediums and techniques. Digital art has expanded the possibilities through augmented reality exhibitions and virtual reality installations, among other avenues.”


I have created numerous digital abstract paintings on canvas. I frequently use my digital abstract paintings for self promotional purposes. In 1980, I was 4 years old and did not start creating digital art until years later.


Some of my latest digital art revolves around personality traits, personal and professional experiences and achievements.

This digital painting exemplifies the advantages of modern artistic techniques, showcasing how digital art can expand the boundaries of creativity. The convenience and flexibility of digital tools empower artists to experiment with various styles and effects, resulting in a piece that is both innovative and captivating. This artwork not only serves as a visual feast but also as a testament to the evolving landscape of art in the digital age.



“Digital painting offers a broader range of creative possibilities compared to traditional methods. It's more convenient and flexible and offers a variety of tools that allow artists to experiment and create without the constraints of physical materials.”



“With digital art in the workplace you can create surroundings that help sharpen cognitive skills and enhance concentration and productivity throughout the workday. With new visual stimuli you and your team can create pleasant surroundings every day to boost positive thinking, build trust and enhance morale.”
