Time-Destroying Digital Art

Norvz Austria Creates Darkly Surreal Masterpieces

— February 15, 2012 — Art & Design
Norvz Austria channels abstract concepts of life that plague people and turns them into surreal works of digital art. These concepts include the constant passing of time, internal emptiness and the confusing array of paths a person can take in life. Norvz Austria illustrates these ideas through the use of clocks, doors and clouded picture frames.

Based in the Philippines, Norvz Austria is a self-taught digital artist. The depth and detail of each piece makes this an impressive feat. According to Norvz Austria, "I started making digital artworks when I was looking for a wallpaper that I like and I couldn't find one so I have to make my own." His work often depicts his feelings and dreams.
Trend Themes
1. Surreal Digital Art - The trend of creating surreal art digitally has the potential to disrupt the art industry by allowing artists to evoke emotions and concepts that are harder to achieve with traditional techniques.
2. Art as an Expression of Emotions - The trend of digital artists like Norvz Austria using their art to express their emotions and feelings has the potential to disrupt the art industry by creating a deeper connection between the artist and the viewer.
3. Personalized Digital Art - The trend of creating personalized digital art has the potential to disrupt the art industry by allowing artists to create works that are more aligned with their clients' unique tastes and preferences.
Industry Implications
1. Digital Art - The digital art industry could benefit from disruptive innovations like using artificial intelligence to create personalized artwork, or incorporating virtual reality to create immersive experiences for viewers.
2. Interior Design - The interior design industry could be disrupted by using Norvz Austria's surreal digital art pieces as a focal point in a room, creating a unique and thought-provoking atmosphere.
3. Mental Health - The mental health industry could benefit from the trend of using art as a way to express emotions, as it allows people to process their feelings in a creative and therapeutic manner.
