Can man and machine collaborate to create art? If its artistic power can be harnessed to help us unlock self-awareness, spark mindfulness, and promote social harmony, what will the result be? These are the questions that shape my work.
Whether digitally manipulating an image, designing code-based systems, or co-creating with AI, I treat technology not as a tool, but as a collaborator in the search for aesthetic meaning.
Meet David Mew
David Mew is a visual artist based in Los Angeles, California who works primarily with traditional digital imaging, algorithmic and generative design, and AI-driven tools. His creative process blends structured logic with intentional curation to shape the visual language of his Geo-Surrealistic Landscapes. These compositions emerge from process and randomness, where algorithm meets discovery.
Originally trained in foundational drawing and painting techniques, David’s approach evolved alongside the rise of digital media. He sees each new wave of technological change from early imaging software to generative coding to AI models not as a threat to creativity but as an expansion of it. Mew is an Indexed Artist in the Techspressionism art movement.
Mew's work has been exhibited both regionally and internationally and has found a global audience through his explorations of the inner worlds of the mind and the outer worlds of community and place. His Geo-Surrealistic Landscapes are created not just to be viewed but to be felt, offering quiet invitations toward presence, discovery, and connection.
Techspressionism is an artistic approach in which technology is utilized as a means to express emotional experience. Connect with other techspressionist artists at Tshop.
Geo-Surrealistic Landscapes explore the inner architecture of the mind. These dreamlike worlds are portals into unseen layers of emotion, memory, and transformation.
My Geo-Surrealistic Landscapes are dreamlike, metaphysical worlds shaped by my own transformative wellness journey. Inspired by dreams, yoga, and meditation, they hold a spiritual essence that transcends conventional reality.
I explore themes of inner peace, good intentions, self-discovery, positive energy, interconnectedness, and social harmony. I believe art has the power to reflect, to connect, and to transform - not just the individual, but the collective. Individual growth fuels collective progress.
Drawing from the biomorphic art movement, my work blends cellular structures and organic forms with geometric and curvilinear elements. Many pieces are titled after feelings, values, aspirations, or personal mantras.
The visual language of Geo-Surrealistic Landscapes is anchored in three core elements:
Geometry
There is profound beauty in the simplicity and order of geometric relationships. Abstract forms drawn from sacred geometry, labyrinths, and mandalas repeat throughout my work, offering balance, symmetry, and a deeper symbolic resonance.
Biological Forms
Each pulsating, biomorphic shape mirrors the vitality of personal evolution. Every cell is a symbol of transformation, and their interconnections reflect a holistic vision of wellness: mind, body, and spirit.
Patterns
As someone deeply attuned to patterns, both visible and hidden, I use them to evoke a sense of wonder and meaning. The shifting structures mirror how we perceive growth: sometimes sudden, often gradual, and occasionally imperceptible. My interest in aperiodic patterns represents the reality of meaningful change: not linear but layered; nonlinear and complex. By embracing disruption and letting go of old structures, we make space for new awareness and insight to emerge.
I invite viewers to explore their own wellness journeys by stepping through the portals of my Geo-Surrealistic Landscapes.
