World Fine Art

James Eugene Albert

Like most artists, this art represents a statement by me of my feeling toward the subject for any particular painting.  I always try to get an "Eye" or two into my paintings. I feel that since paintings should have souls, you (the viewer) need to communicate with that soul through its "Eyes". 

Some digital artists get wrapped up in the technology of huge gigabit images and all of the equipment necessary just to get them into the computer and then out onto paper.  That's not for me. That takes the creativity and spontaneity out of the process. Even though a computer is involved, I still feel the need to "paint". I need to have some immediacy of interaction between the image on the screen and me. 

Because I am a technologist, and have been working with computers all of my life, I feel that computers should be more than just calculating machines, or even multimedia Internet cruisers. Although I have designed many computer applications, and even networks of computer applications,  I usually try to keep the technology hidden. In my world, complete mastery of my tools is my ability to take a slightly souped-up  "ordinary " desk top computer and turn it into a virtual set of artist's palettes and tools that can create extraordinary art.
