The painter, who had long expressed a desire to create digital paintings, developed 3 sets of 6 drawings each using an iPad and a capacitive tip pen.
Although he does not reproduce the work faithfully, the artist highlights and explores the interesting idea of the applications trying to copy the paints and strokes as if they were hand-painted. Thus, in fact, creating works that are only possible digitally.
Later, he expanded his technique by exploring the textures and colors of these works with the help of Photoshop.

Biography
Antonio Malta Campos
Antonio Malta Campos is a painter, illustrator, watercolorist and engraver. He began his career in 1982 as one of the founders of the Casa 7 studio, where he remained until 1983. In the same year, he formed a studio with Maína Junqueira, his colleague from FAU-USP. In 1985, Maína Junqueira and Antonio Malta held their first painting exhibition, "Apto 13", at the São Paulo Cultural Center.
In the second half of the 1980s, Antonio Malta participated in several group exhibitions, graduating as an architect from FAU-USP in 1991. He worked with architecture until 1997. In 1998, he resumed his career as a visual artist, exhibiting in the group exhibition "Além do Arco-Íris" at FAAP.
In the 2000s, he held solo exhibitions in São Paulo. In 2012, he exhibited more than twenty paintings at the Centro Cultural São Paulo, together with sculptures by Erika Verzutti (curated by José Augusto Ribeiro). His works became part of important collections, such as those of Andrea and José Olympio Pereira (Brazil), Charles Saatchi (London), Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo (Brazil) and MAR - Museu de Arte do Rio (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil).
In 2014, Malta participated in the group show "Pangaea: New Art from Africa and Latin America" at the Saatchi Gallery (London). In 2016, he participated for the first time in the São Paulo Biennial (32nd Bienal), where Malta showed four large diptychs in oil on canvas, and an installation with 249 "Misturinhas", small experimental works in mixed media on cardboard, made over a period of 15 years. In addition, he recently had solo shows in several national and international galleries and had works exhibited in the group show "Afinidades Afetivas" at the 33rd São Paulo Biennial.
