Stephen Paré

Stephen Paré is a digital painter who creates layered works using computers and mobile devices. His images, built from captured, appropriated, and AI-generated sources, are transformed through collage, glitch, and digital techniques. Storytelling is key to his process — many pieces are paired with titles or texts that suggest broader narratives. These image-text combinations often form book projects. Paré prints on materials like aluminum, wood, and canvas, exploring the tension between digital flatness and the illusion of texture and depth.
