Adele Shtern embraces her calling as a multi-disciplinary artist, using digital and traditional media. She is considered a computer art pioneer. Her artwork is based on a lifetime process of reflecting the synergy and synthesis of personal, cultural and metaphysical realms.
The Digit Dance Series is a pictorial reflection of daily life, painted with pixels. It is reminiscent of impressionism, mosaics and cave paintings. Each image was developed by scanning an orig-inal drawing.The Brother Blue Digital Portraits are digital video portrait/landscapes. Roots are photomontages/collages/paintings layered with text, images and, in some cases, drawings.They integrate different levels of symbolic significance and synthesize visual codes into a deep psychic matrix suggestive of the contemplative mind. Adele's intention is to celebrate the beauty and wealth of life via visual communication. |
