AI Art experience
Integrating AI into my art excites me because it levels the creative playing field. As an advertising professional focused on sustainability, I often faced limits when bringing bold, visually compelling ideas to life without a big budget. With AI, however, I can finally create the images I envision. I’m able to focus on the message I want to convey – without limits. In fact, it even enables me to make art in my personal life in a way that wouldn’t have been possible before.
Personal experience
i think it's so great that the limitations i often experience in traditional productions due to budget constraints are lifted in AI. i can freely express my creative vision and convey important messages to myself - simply from my desk at home, which is great. Also, the art I create with AI is a reflection of my own journey - it shows how important it is to stay open to change and be inspired by new ways of doing things.
Unexpected thought
The most unexpected realization was that with AI, I can let go of some control—and that’s exactly what brings out these unique, unpredictable results. Instead of planning every step, I let the technology play a part in the process, and it often takes me in directions I’d never have chosen myself. It’s this mix of surprise and control that’s redefining my creativity.
Well, I need an endless supply of matcha lattes with coconut milk just to get through the day, my to-do list is forever growing, and sometimes I get lost in creative rabbit holes. Living in Berlin Mitte, where everyone drinks matcha lattes, I guess I fit right in!

Description
This piece is a blend of my work in marketing and my artistic side. The text "DU SOLLST NICHT TÜTEN!" is something I came up with myself—it’s a twist on the commandment "Thou shalt not kill," turning it into a message about plastic waste. It reflects the tension between consumption and sustainability, something I deal with daily in my professional life. The boldness of the design, mixed with the thought-provoking message, shows how my creative and advertising worlds collide.
Process
One thing I'd love to share is that my creative process is really a mix of intuition and strategy. Coming from a marketing background, I’m always thinking about how messages will resonate, but with my art, I let things flow more naturally. The blend of conceptual thinking and spontaneous creativity is what drives me. I love playing with bold visuals and unexpected twists in language—like the phrase I created for this piece.
Tools
I usually jump between several tools like Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, and Photoshop. It’s a fully AI-generated work with no initial photo reference. The only manual touches in Photoshop were the sky and the text. This back-and-forth between AI tools and traditional editing lets me blend the precision of technology with the creative tweaks I need to make the final image just right.
