Introduction. Artistic creation is currently facing new challenges, but it is also posing challenges to itself, as it is increasingly linked to the development of new technologies that are leading to changes in both the creation, and reception, of art. Art on the Internet, and net art (Internet/virtual art), or digital art, for which cyberspace has become a place closely related to the display of artistic creations, differ from each other, mainly because the art on the Internet exists outside the Web and is used only as a medium and one of many possibilities to reach the recipient, while for net art or digital art the Web becomes a material, a natural environment, a context, and in many cases the subject of their creations. Aim. The main aim of this article is to present how adolescents perceive digital painting, what meaning they attach to it in the process of creating their own creations and which places in cyberspace they choose as places to present the art they create. Methods. In this article, based on a literature review, an attempt is made to critically refl ect on the values of digital art. Furthermore, this article also presents the preliminary results of a pilot study of the project Digital art: Adolescent art in cyberspace, which used a qualitative approach based on art-based research and arts-informed research. Conclusion. The results of the research indicate that referring to the experiences and themes close to young people, as well as enabling them to use digital means of artistic expression, approved by them, makes adolescents, involved in the creative process and actively looking for constructive opinions from others about their works, feel appreciated and it fulfi lls the need for self-realization.
