In the gradual conquest of the digital artscape, HRW allows the viewer to partake completely in his archive on the Internet. While the first digital landscapes were more of a 'digitized' photography, (see Matterhorn below) altered into new visual worlds but still clearly to be seen as a depictive representation, the methods of visual extraction come to the fore in the Breakers series (2019-008 Cajeta del Mojon Blanco). The landscape that underlies the work can be sensed, but the eye surrenders to the individual, carefully controlled pixels. Here, an interesting connection between motif and medium emerges: the fragmentation of the element of water as spray in the surf into many drops of water finds a parallel in terms of its content in the pixels extracted from the photograph.
The digital approach to a pictorial object has many facets. The stages of such a work are very different from traditional artisanal creation: they grow together instead of overlapping.
