In the beginning of 1996, I've had my first professional contact with computers. Specifically with Digital Photography, working with programs like Photoshop and Corel Photo-Paint. As being a contemporary fine artist, photographer and photography professor, I felt the necessity of follow the evolution of the new times. Then I started searching digital photography, working with digital camera Kodak DC25, which resulted in my first exhibition.
Last December (1996) I started working with 3D programs (Extreme 3D and Bryce 3D), which are specific to work with three-dimensional images in computers. I use these resources in a non-conventional way. They allowed me to make art in a new and instigating manner. My technique includes painting, drawing and photography used together, in a whole. The resulting works are what I call Digital Engraving, because their production is in some way analogous to the other engraving methods. To be specific about, I can make as many copies as I want to through a laser printer. All identical and of the same quality. In terms of content, I think my engravings speak by themselves.
