Pixiport:Digital Art by Artists Fernando Hocevar

Fernando Hocevar born in Mendoza, Argentina in winter of 1944. Graduated from Universidad de Mendoza as an Architect.
A solid aesthetic background guides him in his fine arts search. Starting as a photographer he participates in numerous and important competitions, obtaining several prizes that stimulates his activities in this field. Nevertheless, not fully satisfied, the necessity of a more direct contact with the materials for art works guide him to oil painting and the creation of his own world of landscape. He begins to develop a very personal technic and works in an endless series of paintings called ?Landscapes in the country of the calm?. In 1997 a deep change takes place in his creations. Without abandoning the spirit and beauties of his works he starts developing his landscapes by digital processes, medium in which he starts working passionately. After two years of work in this field, in 1999 he surprises Mendoza with an exhibition of 40 works at the Modern Art Museum of Mendoza. This show of large size digital works suggestively named ?Landscapes under the hidden moon? is, in the opinion of the specialized critics, the most important sample of digital art work carried out in Argentina at the time.
