Digital painting by Artyom Chebokh

Russian illustrator from the Omsk region is not yet thirty. But he already had an art-industrial college and an unsuccessful attempt to continue his education at the institute, which ended with a year of service in the Russian army. Next was work on the Web - also not very successful, because once faced with human dishonesty, young talent chose to find a more stable source of income.

Artyom Chebokha was born in the Omsk region in 1987. Fantastic stories, space and astronomical literature, had a strong influence on the new approach to painting. He was able to combine two types of creativity, both digital and traditional.
He studied drawing by copying illustrations from books and magazines in a rural library. But the airy, fabulous fantasy was revealed to him only after watching the adaptation of The Lord of the Rings. Jonathan Swift and J.R. R. Tolkien remain his favorite authors. So fans of these writers should order the paintings of Artyom Chebokhi, so that it is easier to be transferred to the light of unprecedented miracles every time.

The choice of means for conveying the beauties of a fictional world also went a thorny path:

• the adored gouache disappointed - she lacked the "air";
• unpredictable watercolor sometimes spoiled the whole idea;
• oil - the love of all creative life - also did not immediately "reciprocate."

A tool for creating digital paintings is the familiar Photoshop program.
If you do not know that his works are the result of the coordinated work of the mouse, keyboard and stylus, you will never believe it. Each stroke is like a real smear with oil paint, each picture is like a scanned canvas.

In the program, he creates such masterpieces that not everyone can create an artist of a traditional school. Magical, fantastic and very bright - his paintings resemble the most rainbow dreams. They want to enter into them, like at a door, and stay inside forever. In real life, such landscapes can only be seen through the eyes of an optimist and an incorrigible romantic.
It clings to his paintings that they are filled with fresh air, freedom and dream. Looking at them, one wants to break out of the circle of everyday life and run, go, go to those places where the soul has long been torn.

We believe that digital art has great potential, and the future lies with it. Technologies penetrate our lives, progress does not stand still, something new constantly appears, and we must use it! This all helps to translate your ideas in new ways. Without giving up colors, Artyom continues to paint in traditional ways, but the most favorite is digital painting.
