Embracing Digital Art: Inspiring the Creative Community in Cagayan de Oro

The recent Hala Bitaw event in Cagayan de Oro city not only highlighted the rich tapestry of artistic talent in the region but also underscored a painful truth: many artists still rely on traditional methods like pencil and paper for their creations. While these classic techniques have their undeniable charm and value, the digital revolution in art provides tools that can expand an artist's capability and efficiency. Here's how artists in Cagayan de Oro can transition to digital artwork and the role that local technology providers like Makotek Computer Sales, Inc., can play in this transformative journey.

The Power of Digital Tools.

Digital tools like the Wacom Cintiq 16 and high-performance laptops equipped with AMD Radeon and NVIDIA RTX 30 and 40 series GPUs offer a new realm of possibilities for artists. These tools allow for intricate details, undo options, and experimentation without material waste. Moreover, digital artwork can be easily edited, copied, and distributed, opening up more opportunities for artists to share their work and gain exposure.

Overcoming Barriers with Accessibility.

One significant barrier to digital art adoption is the cost and accessibility of the required tools. Here’s where Makotek steps in—located conveniently in Cagayan de Oro and Davao, we offer not just access to these cutting-edge tools but also financing options through third-party installment plans, making it easier for artists to make the transition without financial strain.

Economic Growth Through Creative Contributions.

The Philippine creative economy has reached new heights, valued at approximately PhP 1.72 trillion in 2023, which accounts for 7.1% of the national GDP. ( https://psa.gov.ph/content/philippine-creative-economy-reaches-php-172-trillion-2023-contributing-71-percent-gross ).

This remarkable growth is driven by the high demand for digital creatives in international markets, showcasing the global relevance and economic significance of Filipino artists and digital creators. This trend underscores the importance of integrating modern digital tools and technology to further enhance the capabilities and global competitiveness of local artists.
