My Bio
I enjoy making digital art in my spare time. I don't like to try and make art to conform to any particular style, but as my favourite art genre is Surrealism I don't deny that does have some influence. I fell in love with Surrealism as an art genre when I was in my early teens, without really knowing the history. Then when I started doing digitial art I discoverd my process was aligned to that propounded by the early Surrealists (see my journal entry 'About Surrealism'). I love starting with one idea and letting it develop almost as if it has it's own life, to end up with something I hadn't originally envisioned . I like to do some 'regular' art every now and then too. It's all great fun!

Yet, what I consider to be totally bland, unispiring, unemotional, unartistic pieces of so called 'art' continuously gets high exposure in famous galleries and sells for ridiculous amounts fo mo

About Surrealism
0 min read
My favourite art genre is Surrealism, and has been ever since I found a book on Surrealist artist at my school library.I'dnever seen any art like it before and found it fascinating, intriguing and captivating. Here's a snippet of my article giving a brief introduction to the history of the movement:
BEGINNINGS
Surrealism is associated the weird and bizarre. It has been described as one of the most important intellectual movements of the 20th Century, and actually began as a literary movement, and was intended partly as a political vehicle to bring about social revolution. Many were very politically conscious and active, being aligned w
