Aeneas MacRae / Artist Bio

My Journey as a Digital Artist has been a long one. I graduated College in 1997 with a 3 year Advanced Photography/Digital Imaging Diploma. Since then I have pursued becoming a Digital Artist. The late 20th Century and early 2000’s was not receptive to the Digital medium but for some few exceptions. I did manage to exhibit in Los Angeles, Toronto, New York, Miami, Chicago and Vancouver B.C. These opportunities were few and difficult to maintain. But I always had a belief in the medium and knew someday a wider audience/acceptance was coming our way. Fast forward to today with the advent of NFT’s and AI we see the explosion of Digital Art with admiration and acceptance. If I had one specific accomplishment it would be this belief that Digital Art would have a global impact and acceptance globally.

My artistic style has always been the combination of video, photography, digital imaging and recently AI. The finished output was always to show my art as DIGITAL. However my growth as an artist in the last 2 years has been exponential. The introduction to AI and other generative models has allowed me to explore many many more and new ways to create. I have always believed in the digital medium as a pure art form even when it was not as widely accepted. AI has changed the way art can be created not just for Digital Artist but for all artists. Painting, Sculpture, Photography, Film etc. will be affected how to create. We are here at the beginning and I am excited to be a part of this new world.
