BIO OF 1ST PLACE WINNER: MAURITS ROL

I live in New Mexico and I have been making digital art for more than 25 years. My artwork may be abstract or surreal or realistic, and I love lots of color. I like to work with the elements of color, form, light, texture and composition to achieve my version of aesthetic beauty. Music is important in my process, it helps me get lost. With music, the outside world disappears, I lose track of time and go with the flow. I keep going on this journey into inner space until everything looks right to my eye. I have spent thousands of hours over the years lost in inner space in pursuit of beauty. I find there is always more for me to explore. https://www.shivafool.com
