Digital Paint

Dense abstract digital painting of overlapping black silhouette-like shapes, jagged white bursts, and orange, blue, red and grey forms packed tightly across the surface.

Digital Paint gathers a shifting selection of digital works made by hand through colour, line, texture, pattern and layered marks. It includes completed pieces, experiments, works in progress and images that may later move into more defined series.

The works often begin without fixed outcomes. Forms gather through drawing, painting, layering, erasure, repetition and reworking, allowing figures, masks, landscapes, structures and abstract spaces to appear, dissolve and return. Some images remain close to pattern and surface, while others lean towards bodies, faces, architecture, weather or strange narrative fragments.

Although made digitally, these works sit in conversation with drawing, painting, collage and the wider photographic practice. They share an interest in emergence through process: images forming through accumulation, accident, pressure, revision and partial recognition rather than from fully settled plans.

The collection below grows through occasional posts, gathering individual paintings, small groups, experiments and older works brought back into view as they are added.

  • A digital abstract painting in deep red, cobalt blue, and purple, with a central demon-like face outlined in white emerging from swirling forms, and gold wave patterns visible in the corners.
    Devil In The Detail (2024)
  • Abstract digital painting of a warm ochre and rust-red field overlaid with dark blue, jagged linear forms resembling saw cuts or skeletal structures, with hints of bird-like silhouettes within the lines against soft lavender-grey shapes.
    Saw Cut Pyre (2020)
  • Abstract digital painting with dense red, pink, yellow and blue circular forms linked by white lines, suggesting roses, stars or city lights, with a large figure-like presence emerging.
    Rose Garden Alive To The Starry Skies At Night (2025)
  • Abstract artwork with red organic forms, fragmented body parts, and suggestion of a burned-out tank layered through energetic lines and patterns.
    Spare Parts (2023)
  • Abstract digital painting of a fragmented skull-like form built from pale blue loops, deep red patches and black halftone dots, overlaid with broad sweeping magenta brushstrokes against a muted grey-green ground.
    Landscape with Skull II (2022)

  • Square abstract digital painting featuring a broad translucent field of pale pink overlaid with thick opaque crimson borders against dark navy-blue edges, showing visible brush texture and layered transparency.
    Untitled Landscape I (2018)

  • Abstract digital painting featuring a faint pink halftone image of a hand-held drill pointing upwards, embedded within broad magenta brushstrokes over orange-yellow and pale grey forms against a deep blue ground.
    Landscape with Drill

  • Abstract digital painting dominated by thick strokes of crimson red and cobalt blue over a pale pinkish-beige ground, featuring heavy dark outlines that suggest fragmented architectural or facial structures.
    Legend (2020)

  • Abstract painting with chaotic lines, rubble-like forms, and broken buildings beneath a dark patterned sky, layered with vibrant textures and colour.
    Stairway (2024)

  • Tall abstract digital painting of a complex intersection of green, magenta and yellow geometric planes overlaid with wavy dark purple ribbons and fine white contour lines against a red perimeter.
    Figure (2018)

  • Abstract composition with skull-like forms, orange outlines, dotted textures, and gold accents against black, creating a surreal and chaotic atmosphere.
    Night Moves (2023)
  • Dark abstract digital painting with overlapping blue, black, red and violet shapes, suggesting foliage, branches and partially obscured forms seen through shadow.
    Through Dark Foliage (2023)
  • A dark digital abstract painting with distorted skull-like forms and monstrous faces in deep red and grey emerging from a near-black ground, laced with erratic neon yellow-green lines.
    Haunted Landscape (2024)

  • Abstract digital painting of a large, translucent grey halftone form suggesting a ghostly head against a deep blue background, with a solid red triangular shape at its centre.
    Drawing Closer (2021)
  • Square abstract digital painting of fragmented blocks in black, cobalt blue, salmon-pink and magenta, overlaid with thin white looping lines; the central pink mass suggests a reclining nude figure, with a denser cluster of shapes and lines at top left implying a head.
    Pink Clouds Float In A Clear Blue Sky (2026)

  • A digital abstract painting in magenta, red, orange, and yellow, with white line-drawn figures emerging and dissolving across a densely layered surface of black and coloured marks.
    Ghosts Of Gaza (2024)
  • Abstract digital painting of two prominent, circular eye-socket forms—one warm orange/red, one cool blue/white—suggesting a skull face, set against a dark navy ground and crossed by energetic strokes of bright blue, white and crimson.
