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.
