Vivid Art Gallery
What I discovered through this artistic journey is that everything is subject to change, nothing is constant. Life will continue to progress and so will art. As new technology emerges and civilization advances, nature will be put at a greater risk. I hope to not only bring awareness to nature itself, but to eventually utilize my artwork in a way that shows the damage that society brings to our planet by acting inattentive to the problems that the planet faces. My process starts out by taking my own nature photographs, and then altering them by adding new content and multiple layers. I often include vivid, abnormal colors. This process allows me to create an interesting euphoric effect, persuading the viewer to look further into what they’re really seeing. As humans we often become distracted and things that we are subject to become dull or forgotten. By altering the images, the normalized things that we see everyday become more interesting.
