My practice blends digital technology with traditional artistic intuition. I use generative design and digital sculpting tools – sometimes with the support of AI – to develop the initial form of a piece. This first stage is a sketch, a starting point shaped by algorithms but guided by my own creative direction. The raw digital model is only the beginning. I refine and adapt it manually, often reshaping it before and after the 3D printing process. Each sculpture is physically finished by hand, through careful coloring, sanding, or surface treatment. The result is not a product of automation, but a collaboration between machine precision and human sensibility. I see AI not as a replacement for creativity, but as an extension of it – a tool that opens up new visual possibilities, while leaving the emotional and conceptual depth in the hands of the artist. My work exists in that space between code and touch, where digital structures meet tactile, individual expression.
