We have unwittingly witnessed the unprecedented growth of innovative technologies. Smart devices have even taken control of everyday areas of our lives: robot vacuum cleaners clean apartments, and a voice assistant awaits each of us at home. Digitalization has conquered business and finance, data management, medicine, education and even art, which we will talk about today.
It is worth noting that technology is not trying to replace the canvases and sculptures we are accustomed to. Digital art is a separate field in the vast world of creativity. However, innovations have significantly affected not only production and technology, but also the perception of daily life. We invite you to remember how it all began and understand the impact modern tools have on us and on art.
What is digital art?
Contemporary art not only embodied the experience and traditions of previous generations, but also took them to a new level. In the context of global digitalization and technological advancement, the presentation styles and methods we are accustomed to have gone beyond canvases and mosaics. At first, the dialogue between the artist and the audience turned into reality: various actions, performances and installations gained popularity. And with the advent of technology, art gradually moved online.
Turning to terminology, digital art (also known as digital art) is a direction based on the use of computer programs and technologies, the result of which is a work of art in digital form. In simple words: creating masterpieces using graphics tablets and special programs.
First digital artist
With the development of innovative technologies, digital art may seem to have taken its first steps. But the first signs of life were noticed long before the appearance of the first computer. In 1950, American artist and mathematician Benjamin Francis Laposki created the first work of abstract art using a cathode ray oscilloscope (a device that measures electrical signals). Combining mathematical acumen with a passion for creativity, the innovator manipulated curves and created “electric compositions”. Photographs of the results were even published in the journal Recreational Mathematics in 1961.
Why is contemporary art going digital?
Let’s start with the fact that digital art is much more useful than traditional art. There is no longer a need for heavy canvases, brushes and palettes that you sometimes have to carry on your shoulders. The wide range of techniques is astounding and it is now possible to fix errors with just one click. The development of digital platforms also plays a big role here, where budding artists can gain wide popularity and established professionals can gather a community of loyal fans.

Russian resident artists of the Soulmate gallery were among the first to test the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X tablet and the updated GoPaint application
“As an artist working in a variety of mediums, from fine art to film, I have come to really appreciate GoPaint. It is an indispensable assistant and a useful “notepad” for ideas. One of the main features of the application is its intuitive interface. If we talk about an important artist’s tool such as a brush or pencil The M-Pencil performs its job perfectly.
“For me, the main advantages of the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X tablet were its size and weight. It’s very lightweight and fits easily into your bag with the included keyboard stand. I researched the capabilities of the device for a long time and chose a few favorites. Most of the time I use paper texture, wet effect brushes to blur edges and adjust the opacity of layers.
I appreciated the selection of brushes: foundation, watercolor and even gloss effect. I also like the matte screen because it doesn’t show fingerprints much. “I now plan to draw sketches in the GoPaint program for my watercolor works.”
“The main advantage of the GoPaint program is the natural watercolor textures. I loved layering them and working with the blur feature. I also appreciated the differences in paper texture, my favorite being the “Ink Cap”. Among the brushes, I chose a few of my favorites: watercolor, ink, as well as crayon and The chalk wet brush effect is very useful. And of course I like that the tablet holds its charge for a really long time.”
“The HUAWEI MatePad 12 X tablet is small and thin. It is pleasant to hold in your hand and easy to carry. Convenient menu. This is not difficult to understand. The charge lasts for a long time. I also liked the screen: beautiful, matte, does not get dirty. The vehicles are also amazing and there are so many of them, I didn’t even have time to go through them all. I feel good, the tablet inspires creativity!”
