welcome to the digital art & painting pages of Cleveland Ohio area artist John Kovach
brain - mind - hand - wire
Although each composition is created entirely within a computer, the real creative process takes place at some point between my inner self and the computer's inner software environment. A meditative relationship is forged between my world and the computer’s world.
I approach each new composition as a blank canvas of light and work without preconceived notions of what we will create. Without desire for results.
The computer and I act in a mutual creativity, each in reaction to the expressions and most recent digital manipulations of the other. I find this process to be as fluid and natural as painting in the tactile world of oils, solvents and physical space. And although I have, on rare occasion, gone back into a piece and invested additional time to it's compositional elements, I ordinarily work from beginning to completion in one sitting, Sometimes this takes minutes.Sometimes this takes hours.
The result is a meditative state in which my sense of self-awareness tends to dissipate and the fact that I am sitting at my computer is completely eliminated. I like it here.
All the pieces found herein have been created in Adobe Photoshop. Cigarettes, coffee, and an array of great music have helped guide the way. A sincere thank you to everyone involved in the production and availability of all four.
