Jordan Carinae

Artist Statement: My work is primarily digital, and I’ve spent the past seven years of my life mastering the tools of various programs. I’ve learned how to apply those tools to create no just a style that I feel confident in, but a method for constructing visual narratives that hold enough life to draw viewers in. I make careful use of color, composition and symbol to give my scenes a sense of depth. My pieces are inspired by the worlds of authors I admire, as well as from my own experiences. I draw heavily from my lifelong interests in astronomy and fantasy when I create my work. My hope is for observers of my art to stop and spend a moment in the world created by my pieces - taking in the emotion and stakes of what they are seeing, while also thinking about what they might not be seeing.

Artist Bio: As a writer, the aspect of art that I’m most excited to make use of is the ability of still images to tell rich stories. One major lesson I’ve learned in my writing education is the powerful effect of leaving some parts of the story unseen; in visual art, I’ve found a medium that allows me to show the viewer enough to let them understand the shape of the story they’re seeing, while still keeping them wondering.
