Condensed abstraction on animated lands | Immo Jalass

I am creating free digital compositions which often started (years ago in the early beginning) with one or two photographs, which are then ‘worked out’ with more or less 100 steps of copying and pasting; maybe filterering, distorting, twisting, and/or change the perspective to make it more abstract, again colouring, setting brush strokes, perhaps lines; some ‘decoloring’; ‘recoloring’; stretching; detailed form and color changing; copying one art piece into another one; making it transparent; giving some contrast; sizing and resizing, etc., until the image is complete and not one of the original photographic pixels is left. They are associations of the world around us and its reflections - often a kind of fantastic situation where everything seems to make a new kind of sense.
