[Comments on the prize-winning work] |
| I have always enjoyed using color. As I was experimenting with Painter I noticed that a face apeared among the colors. The face made me think of colors as living things. |
[Comments on receiving the Grand Prize] |
| What a surprise! At first I did not think it could be true. Me, win a grand prize? While I have received numerous awards and recognition for my acrylic paintings and other artworks locally, I had never won anything international. I am so appreciative to Toray for their recognition of my "Faces of Color" digital artwork. I am also very appreciative to my Art Teacher, Dr. Marvin Grossman, for introducing me to your digital art contest. As I have been developing my art skills he has been my guiding light.
Originally, I was just experimenting with the different tools in "painter", but then I saw a face developing. Faces and how diverse they are have always fascinated me. I wanted to illustrate how could look so different and still look the same. I choose red, white and blue as the colors of the features on the faces because I was in a very patriotic mood.
I think it is wonderful that Toray is using the upcoming forms of digital art in their contests to show the world the talents of digital artists. I am honored to be recognized as one of these new digital artists. |
