How does Sargent's focus on light relate to digital art?
My lifelong study of how light interacts with form and color shares a fundamental kinship with the principles underlying digital art. Though my tools were pigment and brush, the challenge of representing light’s ephemeral qualities – its brilliance, its shadows, its ability to define atmosphere – is a core concern in visual representation across all media. Digital artists, like myself, must understand how light behaves to create convincing illusions of depth, texture, and mood, even if their palette is made of pixels.
