I am a New York-based digital artist and writer. My artwork, which I call Computer-Evolved Art are digital composition that combines digital refinement with the textures, structures, and visual choices I bring from those earlier disciplines, letting each piece evolve through a mix of touch, image, and digital shaping.
With a background in painting and photography, I merge qualities of both into layered images created through a practice that combines digital refinement with the textures, structures, and visual choices I bring from those earlier disciplines, letting each piece evolve through a mix of touch, image, and digital shaping..
The Process
My Computer-Evolved Compositions embody a multi-generational evolution, where new insights continually reshape earlier ideas. A work completed today may trace its origins to a painting, assemblage, or photographic series created decades ago. AI elements, when used, act as catalysts rather than determinants, entering the process at any stage. Every piece undergoes extensive manual refinement in Photoshop and other digital tools, where composition, texture, and depth are intentionally sculpted to suggest a tactile surface on a flat plane.
Works may rest for months before being revisited with a fresh perspective, their meaning shifting with time. Final adjustments, sometimes only visible at the pixel level, include color, contrast, re-layering, and digital brushwork, all directed toward visual impact and narrative clarity. The process is cyclical and evolutionary: a finished piece may become the seed for a new experiment, ensuring the work remains alive and expanding.
