Me, Myself and Art
I was one of the businesspeople until retirement. However, I am interested in portraying the spiritual essence and divinity hidden within everyday ordinariness. And I loved to draw though I never really learnt how to draw. But I was determined not to follow the various methods that many artists tried and evaluated. I decided to become a digital artist to try something new.
The advantage of digital art is that one can achieve sensitive brushstrokes that may not succeed with hand drawings. It is perfect for expressing what is way beyond ordinary thoughts and feelings. The possibilities of digital art are endless.
However, I do not focus on digital elements to create art for digital precision, but I strive to create a pure art form. For example, in the case of photomontage, I do not value the original photo. But, after processing, I pay close attention to the image, which is entirely different from the original one. Digital processing is not retouching of photography.
By the way, I like to compose poems to express the spiritual essence and divinity hidden within everyday ordinariness. These are the same things as my mental images. So, I often use them to explain my digital artworks.
Talking about art, after retirement, I also began pole dancing. I am not sure if I am a brilliant dancer, but I love dancing. I value this dance in erotic and artistic styles from the bottom of my heart. It may be why I may draw someone to my pole dancing. I think art is a peculiar obsession.
