I love digital art...


...particulary painting. Despite the fact that traditional painting techniques (oils, watercolor,...) are applied using digital tools by a computer graphics software, that offers virtual canvases and many different brushes, colors, pencils,..., the artwork is so different when it's made with digital tools and software. It feels different to look at the digital artwork. As a painter (I studied traditional painting) I love both processes of creating. Many advantages of traditional painting as a genuine contact with a substance, nature of the real brushes and pigments, phisical presence in a painters workingspace and larger actual size of an artwork are things that can never ever be replaced with any form of digital art. Even so, the process of digital creating enables the more playful and less systematic work - faster mindflow, the quicker realization and really fast feedback. Elements can easily be removed, opacity can be manipulated, also the size, colors, composition, alpha channel... A manipulated photo can be a base of an artwork as well. Copying the elements and manipulating the shapes is so much easier. It is definitely easier on one hand. On the other hand, the complexity that is enabled with digital tools, is a danger for an artist without a clear art aesthetic and art content visions, vision directions and practical - working systems and especially  - without knowledge and ideas. Visual effects can be so easily obtained, that a creator might forget their real meaning and purpose, which cannot be used only in the cause of some aesthetic reason but also in the name of the artwork communication (message). The most important thing is: digital arts and traditional arts differ in funkcion. 
Digital art can be judged by the same rules as traditional art - at list some of them. An artwork has to have something interesting and attractive at first sight. First of all - it have to be there to impress, to convince a viewer to make a good observation, to catch the first impression and feeling. I will be looking for an interesting artworks, and representing them on my blog. I will check the composition, colors, contrasts, inherent meaning the story, uniqueness and more. Here is one nice piece of digital art in a often used form - design for an iPhone case.
