Artist Statement

Right now, to me the vanguard of art is beyond the realm of the physicality. And I make emphasis on the vanguard, because there's thousands of art manifestations, but what it is art in this era? In the age of imagination art is in your mind's eye; art is in your essence and how you experience reality. Generative AI helps us break the barrier between imagination and manifestation, our clumsy fingers are no longer chained by the lack of dexterity, more and more the models are going to be easier to use and more accessible to all, challenging the uniqueness of the born genius and the exceptionalism of humanity as a so-called perfect creation of God. My concern is in what it seems to be a corporate powered art, where access to the best and more complex models is now gated by a monthly fee. And the art we see is becoming a snapshot of a certain group of people, us. The ones that have the means to access, to pay. I hope soon, in the near future, open-source models and shanzhai culture can develop and give free access to high end models to all.

AI Art experience

The infinite possibilities of expression. Leavening behind the skill factor, art becomes more about what you are, what you believe in, your essence.

Personal experience

Along the way in my artist career, I have been switching constantly from medium to medium. This made easy to me to engage with generative AI, the same way within generative tools I don't get trapped by the feeling that I must stay in a certain style, which would be a waste giving the array of creative possibilities.

Unexpected thought

I love the idea that generative art puts in the spotlight the fact that we humans are not as specials as we think. We are replaceable. And I like that sense of humility. Artificial intelligence is surpassing us even in creativity and ingenuity. This poses a big existential question mark that forces us again to rethink what art really is, and what is our actual place in this universe.
