How do you approach blending traditional techniques with digital technologies in your artwork, and what impact does this fusion have on the final piece?

It seems that major art movements in the last 100 years have been the results or impact of untraditional materials and applications like Pollack. I believe that the DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY is a current advancement applied to THE ARTS. This is not A. I. It is B. I. Byron Intelligence. The idea is developed from ART AND TECHNOLOGY OF DESIGN. I appreciate the options to develop color and incorporate forms as never before with digital assistance. This is not the traditional easel painting. So I can plot the images on canvas to look like real art right. But in MY ART, it has become a composition of generational design and developments. I may have first generation for hand works. Then I have second generation for digital design and developments. Sometimes there is a third generation back to hand applications. Each level has a great visual impact and coordination. But the nuisances discovered with digital applications is beyond the hand ability. Well it is all accomplished by MY HAND. The fusion is really an INTEGRATION OF ART DESIGN similar to Mixed media. But it can be a super challenge to FEEL the relationship of all elements and components. This is not merely pushing buttons in Photo Shop.

Can you elaborate on how the concept of “intrinsic value of space” informs your creative process and the way you approach each composition?

This is a very personal advancement and theory in design. It was developed in architecture since I am an architect. But this concept can be incorporated in all of the arts that I participate. The key word is INTRINSIC means what you cannot see. If you combine extrinsic and intrinsic criterias into the design application, you will create a comprehensive solution that is far more effective and competent. So applied to MY ART, it combines the visual and emotional relationship in a Color Strategy.

Your work incorporates elements from both Abstract Expressionism and Hard Edge Abstraction. How do these two styles complement each other in your pieces?

As an ABSTRACT ARTIST, I have learned these two art movements very well. But they are different movements. Abstract Expressionism deals with color fields. Hard Edge Abstraction deals with geometric forms. So I have integrated the best of each. When these two concepts are interfaced, they create a super contrast and tension to promote spatial and dynamic visual experience. This can be considered INTEGRATED PAINTING.

Could you explain the significance of color in your work and how you use color strategy to evoke emotions and depth in your compositions?

COLOR IS TO BE PAINTERLY. This is a simple statement but a very difficult objective. You are limited to developing color by hand techniques and applications. I focus on advancing the characteristics of color. Now I can expand the dynamics and options of the color. I can extend the scale, pattern, integration and mass that is almost impossible by a brush. Now THE COLOR has a greater potential to be MORE THAN JUST THE COLOR. This is not Photo Shop. Now the impact of THE COLOR can advance the compositional creativity of the image. It integrates the spatial aspects to promote depth, perspective and proportionalism and to explore the nature of Color.My focus is the COLOR ADVANCEMENT to create new artistic image and form.

You mention investigating “Man’s Impact on Nature” in your artwork. How do you interpret this relationship visually, and what message are you hoping to convey through your art?

Every artist and designer has to learn and determine their SENSITIVITIES. I have some main objectives that I have determined in architectural design. And in the arts, I have some main objectives in visual design. I share everything that I know in all of MY ARTS. I guess that the theme of MANS IMPACT ON NATURE is my main focus. It is not always deliberate or obvious in the composition. But it is underlining most of my compositions. In most cases, it is the contrast and tension developed in the compositional imagery. It is an internal tension and dynamics that are integrated for spatial and compositional conclusion. Yes, there has been many issues in contemporary life that show mans impact on nature either positively or negatively. I am not trying to make a political statement.

How do you perceive the role of technology in contemporary art, and what potential do you see for the future of art with the continued advancement of digital mediums?

I have described the role of current digital technology is MY ART. But what I find to be fantastic aspect is the idea of integrating all of the arts. The advancements in my visual compositions can be expanded to sculpture and macro art installations and even back into architecture. There are no limitations. Example: I have advanced my sculptural designs with the 2D imagery incorporated with the 3D constructs. It is magical. It becomes MURALIZED CONSTRUCTS or CONSTRUCTIVE MURALS. Which came first the chicken or the egg? The form can be reduced in the construct and expanded to a new spatial and visual composition. As with any new advancements in materials and applications, there are endless complications and problems to BRING THE ART INTO REALITY.

What was the inspiration behind creating the new style of “Techno-Expressionism,” and how does it distinguish your work from traditional forms of abstract art?

I developed this ART STYLE in 2013. Simply, it the name of the concept that I use in MY ART restating all the information above. This is TECHNO because of the digital technology incorporations. This is EXPRESSIONISM because of the artistic range in abstract art. It is both IMPRESSIONISM and EXPRESSIONISM. But to be successful, I have had to know all of the arts. I know traditional painting very well. But it is too slow and limiting in the compositional directions that I want now. I did not jump off the cliff but I went beyond the horizon. I want to break through the boundaries of contemporary art. ART IS A LIFELONG ENDEAVOR. I am a NOT SO FAMOUS ARTIST yet.
