ABOUT ARTISTMARK
At the crossroads of Art and Technology, ARTISTMARK emerges as the pioneering force in contemporary, intelligent iPad Art.
ARTISTMARK is a pioneering and critically acclaimed digital artist who exclusively uses the Apple iPad as his canvas. On the heels of major museum retrospectives of artists such as David Hockney celebrating art made using iPad technology, ARTISTMARK's award-winning Experimental POP ART Portraits blend sharp, contemporary drawings with a curated collection of layered iPad applications, creating an exciting new genre of original digital mixed media paintings. The abstract compositions of Experimental POP ART are crafted with intellectual intent and intelligence by design, and their unique, digitally transformative style invites viewers to engage with the artwork far beyond the traditional canvas.
"The iPad is more than just a tablet; it is my magical canvas. The Apple Pencil is not merely a brush – it is my wand. This creative technology remains perpetually contemporary, always in its infancy. I have the power to create anytime, anywhere. I can invent in an instant and begin my work in a clean, intimate, and frictionless environment. I ease my stress by immersing myself in the work, instantly capturing what is in my mind’s eye as I start the dance. The hardest obstacle is simply knowing when to stop." - ARTISTMARK
Why ARTISTMARK stands out from other Digital Artists:
Innovative Use of Technology: ARTISTMARK leverages the Apple iPad as his primary canvas, using various applications to create intricate digital mixed media paintings.

Unique Artistic Style: His Experimental POP ART is a fusion of contemporary drawings and digital techniques, resulting in vibrant, abstract compositions that are both visually striking and thought-provoking. ARTISTMARK also emphasizes spontaneity and the ability to create anywhere, anytime. Many traditional digital artists rely on more stationary setups.

Global Recognition: His innovative approach and distinctive style have earned him international acclaim, making his work highly sought after in the digital art community. This level of embraced, worldwide recognition is a testament to his unique approach.
Accessibility: By using digital tools, ARTISTMARK makes art more accessible to a wider audience, breaking down barriers and encouraging others to explore digital creativity.
My Creative Process: Digital Experimental POP ART Portraits are created with the iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, and a dynamic, curated recipe of layered iPad applications.
As an early adopter of the iPad, I quickly became immersed in its creative potential. The device’s clean, portable nature allowed for spontaneous creativity, something I always found challenging with traditional mediums like pencil, paper, paint, and photography. The term “intellectual intent or intelligent art by design” emerged from my creative process, which involves meticulously identifying, mixing, and matching unique palettes of drawings, images, textures, and designs. By combining these elements with select iPad applications, I create each unique mixed media composition.
About Experimental POP ART:
My work draws strong references from numerous artistic genres, including Fauvism, Abstract Art, Pop Art, and Cubism. Experimental POP ART, while influenced by these styles, maintains its own unique aesthetic, with significant inspiration from artists like Picasso, Basquiat, Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, Peter Max, Tadanori Yokoo, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Gustav Klimt, and Egon Schiele.
Experimental POP ART offers viewers an opportunity for discovery without the need for a predefined story or explanation. Each piece is allowed to present itself, evolve, grow, and recede in the viewer’s eye, becoming both novel and familiar, and encouraging contemplation and conversation.
Each artwork maintains a rhythm, comfort, and caress in its aesthetic. They can be unconventional and somewhat confrontational, but never offensive. There exists a deliberate naivety that is both refreshing and confident in its delivery. This simplicity is juxtaposed against the complexity of the creative technology used in its design, process, color, and texture. The strokes are timely and fluent, varied when required, and consistent where necessary. The pieces represent a creative process that renders the works alive, emotional, and never a mere equation. They breathe and palpitate, offering reassurance to the viewer and multiple forms of accessibility that encourage appreciation and deliberation across various mediums.
The composition is both convincing and balanced, with the use of lines, color, and texture guiding the viewer through each piece with deliberation, confidence, and clarity. This thoughtful approach makes the experience effortless. These digital works are analytical in design yet evoke a strong emotional response, free from any hint of hesitation or tentativeness. The colors are purposefully chosen, creating harmony and disharmony that add depth, balance, and sustained interest, fully engaging the patron.
