Falling - Limited Edition of 1 Artwork

I am working against what some consider the conventional concept of painting. I am not creating art with brushes and oil paints; I am creating art with pixels. Just as my predecessors used the tools of their time, I use the tools of my time. Daring artists in the past adapted the latest innovations to their art such as, the invention of perspective or the use of new, brighter pigments. Those advances were incorporated just as today's artists are embracing technology. My tools incorporate the latest technology, computers, software, digital cameras and large-scale printers. Although I am a classically trained artist, who learned by mastering charcoal and oils, I find that using today's technology allows me to create art that is more in touch with our life and times. I grew up with and have been influenced by print media, television, movies and music. The visual assault on our senses is absolutely overwhelming at times. As a society we have occasionally become numb to visual and audio stimulation. My art strives to break through the visual haze of our everyday existence, surprising the viewer with images of powerful energy and unusual composition. Like the old masters my work is carefully planned and executed with intent and purpose. Each element is designed and placed to help communicate the emotion or place I am trying to convey to the contemporary audience of today. My work reflects the complex and messy world we live in. I am creating the "new painting" of today.
