Background information

Ingmar Spit (1965) studied sculpture and graphic art, graduating in 1991. After completing his art education, he increasingly began using digital design techniques for his own art. Starting in the late 1990s, he also started building websites, games, 3D animations, and user interfaces. In 2005, he co-founded the indie game studio Tripwire Interactive in Atlanta, USA, with friends. Because of this broad experience, his visual art is strongly influenced by digital culture and technology.

Work and themes

Ingmar is a modern printmaker and visual artist. In his work he uses abstractions, figurative elements, color, and typography. Language, technology, and social and philosophical themes serve as the starting point for his artwork that often reflects on what he observes or reads. His work is published as art prints on watercolor paper, acrylic panels, or aluminum, as well as 3D prints.

Methods & Techniques

Ingmar works in illustration software and a programming language for graphics applications He uses these tools to create digital artwork that almost always gets turned into physical objects. To craft his pieces, he uses sublimation printing, large-format inkjet printers, and 3D printers, which give his projects their final shape.

This final step is essential. Strictly speaking, Ingmar is not a digital artist; computers are tools to him, just like a chisel or etching needle. In his studio, he works on single pieces and small editions and series.
