My work defies traditional digital art practices by bringing the work back to its root through handheld techniques and painting. The work emerges from digital photography, then it's composed and manipulated in the computer, finally being transformed onto canvas by hand. My challenge is merging technology and graphic aspects with a variety of traditional mediums. My subjects are personal photography of world cultures gathered from my experiences. Being based out of NYC this has been the perfect environment to explore and grow. My main focus is bringing culture and tradition of the past into a high-spirited, colorful reflection of the 21st century.
