Artist Statement

Victor Filepp works in the invisible world of digital cameras and processing software. The images exist as ones and zeros until they are perceived by the eyes of the viewer. The image is then transformed into electrical impulses, carried to the visual cortex, and reinterpreted by the brain.

“There is a sense of satisfaction getting an image that says something to me on the screen, when it tells me what it wants to be. It’s no longer a “new” way of working, I feel at home here.”

Often projects become monochromatic, noirish, and moody. At other times the work is color landscapes, abstracts, and other creations. He is inspired by nature, human creation, newness, entropy, street art, and abstraction.
