Digital Kaleidoscopes: The synergy between Graphic Design and Photography.
"Everything in color has beauty, but not everyone can see it.”
This series, Digital Kaleidoscopes, is a series of original works that infuses my graphic design skills with newly acquired photographic tools. This body of work explores creating abstract patterns, complex images and design using photographic manipulation to introduce the idea of illusion and character into the images. I give a conscious identity to an otherwise, lifeless object. In doing this, I am allowing the viewer to conceptualize an aesthetically pleasurable experience.
Creating images for this series consists of using digital manipulation techniques that feature mirroring, repeating and repositioning an image from a basic composition and into an abstract composition. The motivation for these techniques explores the viewer’s cognitive perception of how the brain processes art. In my work, I enjoy deconstructing the view of subjects to create new abstract compositions and inspire mental/emotional attachments in relation to what’s displayed in the image.
With the perceptual motivation for my new style of abstract digital art, I have conceptualized myself as an artist and designer. This allows me to present several approaches for composing abstract photographs, and sparking human insight through the use of alternative visual perception. Displaying and offering these abstract reflections of me, is one of the most meaningful aspects of my work.
