My screen is a canvas. The paint is made of pixels. The color pallet is called RGB or CMYK. The brush bristles are a finger or stylus. The evolution of which has been coordinated through innovative technology. Today, phone apps offer screen mobility as well as functionality comparable to those of desktop programs. Â a simple tap on a screen can transform a photo into art.
My journey began in 2011 with my first smartphone (the iPhone 4). I've been exploring the potential possibilities of mobile art ever since. Over the years, I've honed my creative skills using my phone across multiple platforms and countless apps. I learned that apps come and go over the years. OS updates have made some apps incompatible, and sometimes developers drop out or move in a different direction, making their apps obsolete over time. I continually adapt my style to stay current with the latest apps.Â
I was profoundly shaped by the creations of Reservoir_Dan, the author of the iBook "Appstractions—An iPhoneography Dreamscape," as well as Bob Weil and Nicki Fitz-Gerald, editors of "The Art of iPhone Photography." Their contributions and the innovations of countless app developers have ignited and sustained my passion for appstract art.Â
All the images were produced by me. I hope you can enjoy them.
