Check Out the Museum Of Digital Fine Art (MODFA)

I learned about the Museum of Digital Fine Art (MOFDA) when I saw a Google alert with information about one of its artists, Sandrine Replat,  (aka Senyphine).

Here is a description from the site about her:

Senyphine was born in Grenoble, France. She is a high school graduate with a Diploma in Graphic design and Communication (SUPCREA). She likes using both digital and traditional tools to create her works, and likes to experiment with varied themes and gothic/steampunk styles. She suggest things playing with light and high contrast to convey a vision of the world close to childhood’s nightmares, but full of fairy. The atmosphere is the most important element of her work, because it is the very essence of it. She need to give a life; to tell a story in her paintings.

In creating her work she gets some inspiration from old legends about witches, Halloween, but also by Tim Burton’s movie or by the books of Lovecraft and A.E POE, Jules Verne and Mangos,

Her work has been published in prestigious magazines such as Roland Garros (France) or in the Finest Digital Art Book Expos 6 (USA). In 2008 she collaborated with Jennica HARPER ( a screenwriter for the Canadian Film/TV Industry) on an online comic book “Abigail’s War” for the Cartoon Network TV’s contest. She now paints cover for dark fantasy books and artwork for music groups.
