FUSION-A-2-N1 Painting

Jorge Portela was born in Lisbon in 1949. For the last years Jorge Portela has been working on creating innovative art using new digital techniques and exploring limits of painting and photography.

He has found out and proven to himself that the computer era can also be transposed to art, becoming a reviving part of Painting, Sculpting, Photography and other Visual Arts, for it enables the artist to synthesize the Arts status quo and create entirely new art forms. Virtual Art Works also have a far and wider reach potential which was unheard of until today.

For several years now, Jorge Portela has been establishing the foundations for digital painting. He has also conceived the graphic support structure and the technological platform that allows digital painting to circulate easily between different cities from a wide variety of countries, granting a global and international feeling to the work performed by visual artists and allowing a fast cultural exchange.

In the artistic series "7 Virtual Sins" it is clear the photographic presence as a pictorial mutation dynamic, while "Virtual Dance" and "Virtual Jazz" have the same photographic presence on a more conceptual context.

Finally in "Virtual City" and "Z Series" there is an almost absolute sinthesis of the digital technique elevated in order to create a visual art that cannot fit under the traditional terms for art placement.
