Erna Smit
Born: 1954
Hometown: Groningen
Based in: Groningen
As a child I was always outside enjoying nature. I started early in life with creating paintings, ceramic and sculptures based on the beautiful shapes and colors of nature. Trees, flowers ,mushrooms and shapes of buildings, still inspired me to create art works. When I discovered digital art I went on this search of beauty and harmony. Colors blending in mysterious ways, forms that suddenly appears,new shapes and beautiful lights that pop up during the making of a painting. Unexpected things appears during the process but in the end, I decide what the outcome will be. Often I use my photos as a starting point of my new digital work. My abstract digital art fascinates and is personal and unique and I hope it inspires people.
