Mindeye

Description

This work is part of a small series created for one of our AI community challenges. This particular challenge was organised by Women AI Artists, who host these events regularly. You might think of challenges as frivolous or not worth the time of an artist striving for a serious career in the arts, but I find them vital. They remind us of the essential role of play and exchange between artists. I've also noticed that with each challenge I participate in, I discover something new—both in my practice and within myself. This series, in particular, led me to a style that I want to keep working on, and one that is conceptually tied to my reflections on AI and digital art.

Process

This style, which I developed while working on this image, blends digital textures with something more organic, creating a result that feels approachable and warm. I often reflect on how we, as creators, are building new worlds and how, over time, the division between the artificial and the natural may become less distinct. I believe that everything humans do and create is part of nature, just as an anthill built by ants is part of nature. My art aims to articulate this perspective.

Tools

This work was created entirely in Midjourney, using a technique I call 'growing an image,' which requires patience and many iterations to bring it together.
