The word Electrograph was coined in an attempt to refute the general perception that digital art is of necessity cold, mechanical and commercial and that it scarcely demands much creativity.  Along with this I also wish to establish Electrographs or digital art as an accepted and recognized member of the graphic arts family. 

Electrography - Gr, electron = amber + graphein = write). Since time immemorial, amber has been considered to symbolize potential energy. So also may the electronic medium be seen as potential creative energy for those who have mastered the medium. Electrography therefore indicates the creation of art by means of a computer.

Creating an electrograph demands particular proficiency and insight into the electronic medium, supported by a thorough knowledge of colour, line and form. Only then is it possible to start the search for visual possibilities, and with much greater freedom and daring than can be achieved with conventional brush and palet or etched plate and printing press. The results of constant experimentation are also immediately observed and adaptable, making creative options extremely exciting and manifold.

I never use the computer to imitate or simulate other art media or techniques Instead I am looking for that which is essentially peculiar to the computer such as subtle nuances and colour grading or form and line metamorphoses. An Electrograph demands not only thorough knowledge and technical expertise, but also a sensitive attunement to interaction and totality of medium, content and technique.

My more recent works, which have been inspired by the music of Arvo Pärt, have become less figurative and quieter, more contemplative and more evocative.  I aim to distill and filter the multitude of visual possibilities at my disposal into contemplative and evocative simplicity. Though I do have a grand and ever evolving visual potentiality at my disposal, I prefer to create subtle and sensitive visual images which portray deep spiritual experiences of intense purity and devotion.
