Sniff Test (2022) Digital Arts by Aj Rojas

AJ Rojas is a contemporary American artist. Motivated by the gestural approach of Abstract Expressionism, AJ draws influence from the Surrealist and Dada movements of the early 20th century in an effort to replicate the unconscious mind's immediate expression. Always drawing inspiration from organic forms and natural life, in line with Biomorphism's intuitive approach. Based on the aforementioned, AJ identifies as an abstractionist painter whose work lies in the liminal space between abstraction and surrealism, where the viewer's mind can conjure up a variety of interpretations.

Occasionally experimenting with geometric abstraction, AJ usually starts by randomly placing straight or irregular lines on the canvas. Following the initial line insertion, he examines the random lines from his own distinct vantage point to uncover the secret pictures he conjured from his mind. Once the eye-catching lineaments are apparent, he carefully shapes them into color before adding them to the canvas.

The artist claims that leaving a door open for the viewer to shape their own experience with his art is a crucial aspect of his work. He has always believed that the viewpoint of the observer in regards to his paintings is just as important as his own.
