DIGITAL ART CREATIONS 2007 - PRESENT

With a background in computer science and coding, I began manipulating my photography using Adobe software in 2007. By the end of that year, I had developed a deep obsession with Photoshop. Nearly two decades later, as new media and technology continue to evolve, it's nearly impossible to edit anything without encountering machine learning algorithms and neural networks. Twenty years ago, the use of digital cameras wasn't widely regarded as photography, and Photoshop was not considered an art form. As new media proliferates, staying relevant in the art world has become increasingly challenging. I highly recommend conducting a reverse image search on anything you create. This practice ensures that your vision remains unique and allows you to see if anyone has copied your work amidst the vast number of creators online. As a self-taught visionary artist, I thrive on creating distinctive artwork that sets me apart from others.
