Biography

After using various means so called “traditional” of artistic expression, I opted for a digital medium, easy to carry with me wherever I go.
The digital painting is comparable to oil on canvas or pencil on paper, because the artist do not use a computer to generate an images automatically. A painting is created on the blank page with no references whatsoever.
Drawing, perspective and colors are all upon the artist.
The only real difference between the digital and “traditional” way of painting is in the tool; mouse or digital pen on a digital mean or the brush or pencil for canvas or paper. Digital medium also allows to work with multiple layers and to correct the errors easier than on canvas. On the other hand, often painting digitally requires more time than “traditional” painting especially when creating a color palette with all its shades and nuances for each painting separately. In addition, working on a large paintings, dimensions does not allow
an overview of the image on a display. Consequently, there is a need of good visual memory and continuous monitoring of nuances and sizes.
Anyway, the only difficulty, as for every new approach is just in the beginning, when educating your hand to use a mouse instead of a brush.
