Baker Artist Portfolios

Baltimore based digital artist, Darren Thompson Jr, has been honing his skills in digital art for the past several years. After graduating from Towson University, he started creating contemporary themed digital paintings in Photoshop. Since 2018, he has been using photography as another medium, capturing the uniqueness of certain objects and surroundings. His growth in photography has allowed him to develop abstract themes in his work. The different objects he captures through his iPhone camera are used to create entirely new thought-provoking works of art. His main objective is to use rich colors and complex imagery to create an aesthetically pleasing body of art, for his audience to indulge in and visualize their interpretation of the piece. He views his art as community or a sense of togetherness. He believes people can achieve great accomplishments as individuals, but when people come together and work as one, that is when true greatness is achieved. This is one of his core concepts behind his art.
