NAE ZERKA | Fragments | Breaking tradition through digital art
“Fragments create transparency where there is no longer any connection. What can no longer be told as a whole is constructed as a fragment. It thus does not promise an explanation but merely an approximation and functions differently from direct information. Accents hint, but ultimately only to leave a labyrinth, so to speak. The viewer is thus challenged to fill this void himself, and in the process also to take the wrong paths.” – Nae Zerka
Nae Zerka, born in 1969, lives and works in Salzburg, Austria.
In the age of frequent digital disruption, Nae Zerka’s abstract works showcase the promising possibilities of painting with technology. As a child of the 80s, Zerka has a penchant for computer-related activities, including electronic music and graphic design. His artistic practice infuses visual elements borrowed from these disciplines with a painterly touch. Together with the use of contrasting colors and line work, they form new kaleidoscopic worlds made possible by the digital realm.

Since last year, his work and also the approach have changed seriously. He broke away entirely from the traditional materials of painting and began to paint purely digitally. A step that was ultimately necessary, however, in order to dive into digital painting with all consistency.
Abstract digital painting, supplemented by fragments of cyberspace and forms of design.
With his works, he is impressively working on the fact that visual artists are also gaining importance in the digital realm, and thus a real change in the perception of collectors can also take place.
The Blockchain technology now makes it possible to sign and sell pure digital artworks as unique one-offs, he says.
