Chris Haines is an artist who's favorite styles of art to combine are 3D, photography, and painting. His artwork is incredible and has an immense amount of detail put into it. Chris stated in an interview with Psdtuts+ that he is fascinated with how humans think and live, and that is why they tend to be the subject material for his art. He also began to use digital media in high school, where he discovered Photoshop his junior year. He then studied graphic design for two years in High School and two years in a diploma course. He enjoys both being taught and the self teaching method. Teachers bring their years of experience to the table, and being self taught helps you to learn how to combine various tools.
Chris created this artwork, entitled "Zen", for the latest Desktopography wallpaper pack. I believe that Chris is showing humans connection to nature in this work. Many corals make up the face in the image, but the holes in the face show how we are incompletely connected to nature. Man continually distances himself from nature by cutting down forests and building grand cities. This work shows total immersion of man into the world of life living in the sea.
Critiques of "Zen" could be the fact that some of the fish look too animated. They appear to be glowing in the water, and the fish that are where the rest of the image is in focus are not in focus. Other than this, there is honestly nothing I can say to critique his images. They are quite wonderous and i look forward to the next work of his.
