I confess that it took me a long time to overcome my prejudice about digital images. Having painted the picture in oil, I painstakingly resaved it digitally, copying the original in the old-fashioned way. It seemed to me that the digital image would disappear, disappear. And I reassured myself by noting that the original, which could be picked up and hung on the wall, was in my studio and would not dissolve into binary code if the computer into which I saved the copy suddenly died.
We Have Technical Limitations; Skills That We Have Yet To Develop That Hinder Us
But gradually digital art captured all my thoughts. I absorbed the new opportunities that digital gave me. It’s incredible, thanks to today’s digital technology, artists don’t have to tinker with paper or a piece of cloth; there is no need to wait until the paints applied to the base dry! Digital technologies open up an unusually wide range of tools for both beginners and professional artists.
At first, it was difficult for me to understand how to create digital objects, how to work with them, how to promote, and implement them. But it was so interesting to try this new direction! Special courses in digital illustration at the British Higher School of Design in Moscow were a great help. And today all my works of art are born in two formats:
Real and virtual. The same picture can be hung on the wall as a poster and at the same time carried with you as a digital image in your mobile phone.
- Stick to posting schedules that work
- Giveaways are a great way to get people into your community
- Look into your insights to see when your audience is active on Instagram
- Always be clear on what your CTA is
Digital Art is a work of art created using digital technology.
My deep conviction and my strong advice: if you want to make digital the main direction of creative activity – go for it. But do not forget that digital art can perfectly coexist with traditional movements. A century ago, people believed that the cinema had replaced the theatre, and the theatrical art would fall under the spell of the “great little”. Nothing of the sort happened. We still go to the theater, enjoy movies at the cinema, and at home we enjoy turning on the TV and watching a series. Everything has the right to life; each art form has its own load.
Therefore, I set myself the task of uniting the traditional and digital worlds of art. It seems to me that digital is just a new opportunity for creativity. The goals that I once set for myself – to create beautiful works that can evoke emotions in the audience and cause positive movements of the soul – have not changed. And now I argue like this. It doesn’t matter whether I create a realistic work or a digital one that exists only in the virtual world, the main thing is not that his poignancy, however, the energy seething in him, could influence my audience.
Digital art gives absolute freedom, which allows you to “pick up tools that do not exist in the physical world.

The creation of Digital Art works gave a new sound to my concept of “Art without Borders”. It was supplemented by deep meanings that the world of numbers gave rise to. All restrictions have been removed from drawing, the number of experiments with a digital painting is approaching infinity, and every variant, every version of a work of art can be saved. It is possible not only to correct or undo any action, but also to correct any element of the digital canvas. From idea to completion
Theoretically, any artist is capable of creating their own NFT store. Everyone can convert their creations into NFTs, mostly on the blockchain, and sell on some kind of marketplace. Anyone can buy or sell NFT tokens. I do it with success in Ethereum and Digital Art. Perhaps today, NFT is one of the most unusual forms of digital art, an advanced and least studied artificial intelligence technology.
