 “ I brush color pixels onto my digital canvas and cast each piece as a form of identity of our time and space, now.”

Digital art has certainly come of age after decades of innovation in imaging technology and the advent of the affordable PC.

It is now possible for almost any computer user to communicate artistic ideas with the help of a keyboard or mouse. But dedicated artists most keenly appreciate the immense power and versatility of digital imaging. Working in pixels, they can now move flexibly between media, - from multimedia presentations to pigment on canvas, from watercolor paper to animation and from backlit panels to wall murals - in search of the most effective mode of expression, pushing the outer limits of their creativity.

Technology is another outlet for the artistic imagination, not a substitute for creativity. It empowers artists and complements conventional art forms. Digital technology also allows the artistic vision to be shared more widely and synchronously than ever before, bridging geographical and social space, creating intense experiences beyond the two-dimensional plane or the confines of a gallery.

Digital technology has the power to usher in a new era of creative expression. It is for this reason that I have selected digital tools as my paintbrush and canvas to create awareness of this new art form in our local context. My vision is to harness the aesthetic potential and scientific innovation of the digital language to express the essence of our time and space.
