A few examples of Digital Composite Art.

Created by digitally layering photos of nature, hand painted papers, stock photos and details of hand painted clothes. It's like a meditative dance with endless possibilities.

It's a deep dive into our human emotions, desires, dreams, mysteries and realities.

The above art is created by digitally layering photos of a detail of a large India ink splotch I did on paper, some abstract painting on paper, and/or detail photo of hand painted fabric.
It is then taken through various blending modes etc. to achieve a variety of striking looks.
A fusion of bold, strong shape with happy, energizing - or cooling, soothing colors.
