Digital Painting
50x50 cm, 300dpi
To approach a digital canvas is fundamentally different from a
physical one. Thousands of brushes available for you, one
click away. An infinite amount of possibilities waiting for you to
choose them.
It can feel empowering, exciting, but it also creates new, overwhelming,
and daunting issues.
The time when brushes and paper would be co-authors of our
works is slowly shifting to a space where accidents can only
happen if the artist wants it.
An accidental stroke, the unexpected drip.
The uncontrollable is at the core of praxis, research and development
for the artist.
Digital brushes that mimic gouache and watercolors are the
external answer to this issue. But what counts is how we solve
it internally. How we, ourselves, make it possible to let a painting
happen.
