Chameleonism of Art

Imagine Pablo Picasso dab his finishing touch for his magnum opus using stylus instead of paintbrush. If we put his works under the comparison stove during his time and this imagined so-called digital artwork, which would you think is far better, regardless of effort, time, and mastery?

The advent of modern and advanced technologies has brought a gradual yet promising deviation of art from conventional to contemporary. With various applications and softwares to choose from, you can already kick off any project, be it audio, visual, or both, without the trouble of using canvas, makeshift studios, and the like. All you have to do is to turn on your computer and experiment to your heart's content.

This drastic change in the field of arts does not stupefy the traditional ones; it just heightened our opportunity to reach for the greater heights in the field of artistry. Imagine a painting with higher resolution, a movie with real-life effects, and a sound so melodious you might think the angels' choir is in your ears. Look at all these contingent yet realistic modifications to the usual lens we use to see the beauty in life.

Finally, a digital art is more than a piece of work - it's a life. Only few people are patient and passionate enough to venture into the world of editing, knowing it is a very tedious and intricate task. By bearing this thought in mind, we can now look at the sunnier side of this job, or better yet, a hobby for the creative people.
