In the eighties Pygoya was one of the first digital artists. He was influenced by grainy computer monitor graphics. In his oil paintings he paints squares of color referencing the pixillated computer screen. Pygoya coined the word "webism" which refers to art created for display over the internet. On his website you can view work by other webist artists and vast achives of Pygoya paintings. Pygoya is one of the most prolific artists I have met, he paints about two paintings a day!

Pygoya is an experimental artist as well as a dentist, psychologist and an author and many other things. I met Pygoya last night over the phone, we are talking about opening an art gallery together in Santa Fe.

I am interested in doing a short documentary about your work and the creative process you go through (combining art and music). If you interesting in scheduling a preliminary interview e-mail me at gvrickett@aol.com.
