Artist Statement

In an era where intelligent systems reshape perception, art reveals itself as more than just an image; it's a vital pulse of our understanding and response to the world. My work, deeply rooted in the psychology and emotions of humanity—what I call AIReflections—aims to decipher the truths that define us. My artistic vision emerges at the precise point where destruction gives way to creation, and chaos yields to order. It's that suspended moment in the present, caught between what was and what will be, that breathes life into my expression. Through a visceral exploration of temporal flow and an unyielding analysis of emotions—forged by my own experiences—I conceive immersive experiences. Within them, time pauses, inviting viewers to feel the paradox of the now: a present heavy with echoes of the past and the uncertain promise of the future. My ideas, doubts, and the systems that govern them interlace into a creative code that embraces and masters randomness. Using mixed media, I explore the tension between control and chance, where AI, 3D, and generative art are not mere tools, but extensions of my will. The procedural nature of my work, infused with an aesthetic blending classical grandeur with contemporary synthesis, seeks to have the viewer not just observe, but inhabit the moment. Traditional compositions anchor the past, while current styles open doors to the future, capturing the gaze in the fleeting eternity of the instant. For me, working with artificial intelligence is a conscious act of direction and redefinition. It's the space where my voice projects, transforming computation into a declaration of intent and an exploration of the psyche that extends beyond the algorithm. Beyond the pieces I present, my artistic truth lies in the conviction that, in a world where reality and fiction blur, my statement stands as an irrefutable testimony: a footprint of pure purpose in a sea of generated outcomes. My aim is to build a space for reflection for the viewer, where their emotions converge, allowing us to learn more about ourselves in a world dominated by constant noise. This is about more than just the visual aspect or an innovative system; it's a place to embrace our identity and be who we truly are, revealing the most essential and captivating facets of the human experience. My work reflects a quest that moves in constant oppositional unity to rediscover the essence of being.

Description

Awe, the silent force of nature. A moment, suspended in time, in which the beauty of a flower or the flight of a bird becomes a sigh of the universe. An ephemeral presence etched in the soul’s memory, revealing the eternal in the momentary. In the stillness of nature, we find a deep vibration that connects us to something far greater than ourselves. A moment of contemplation that invites the soul to pause, to breathe, and to recognize the greatness of what lies beyond our reach. "Admirari" captures that visceral emotion, that awe before the sublime and unpredictable aspects of nature. Through the simplicity of a gesture, the stillness of a flower, or the flight of a bird, the work invites us to remember our fragility and our interconnectedness with the natural world. Each element, frozen in its purest form, becomes a metaphor for permanence, the present, and the balance that prevails beyond our understanding. Here, the ephemeral becomes the eternal, and in each detail, we find the reflection of an awe that connects us to the very essence of life.

Process

The Power of Awe in Nature. "Admirari" arises as a reflection on the awe that nature awakens in its purest and most stable form. Inspired by Hokusai's Kacho-ga (花鳥画) series, this project explores how natural elements become symbols of timeless stability, where beauty is preserved beyond the passage of time. Awe, that emotion that shakes us before the sublime and unexpected beauty of nature, invites us to pause and contemplate what is beyond our control. In every petal, in every flight, we find a reminder of our connection to something much greater than ourselves. This project explores how that awe inspires the creation of works and technologies that seek to capture the ephemeral, preserving the essence of the natural world in an attempt to make the infinite tangible. "Admirari" celebrates awe as a profound act of connection, an emotion that reminds us of our smallness in the vastness of the eternal, and our ability to find meaning in the simple, the natural, and the sublime.

Tools

The work emerges from an exploration between nature, traditional art, and technological innovation. Inspired by Hokusai’s iconic Birds and Flowers series (Kachō-ga), it reinterprets his vision through artificial intelligence. The piece is built from LoRAs trained with species of birds and flowers represented by Hokusai, allowing a small-scale AI model to generate highly detailed visuals that preserve the essence of his subjects from a contemporary digital lens. Using Stable Diffusion as the generative engine and TouchDesigner for real-time processing, Admirari combines these elements into a collection of 100 static pieces—organized into 10 sub-series—that present nature not as fleeting, but as a symbol of permanence and wonder. Each image is a meditation on the connection between the tangible and the eternal. Birds and flowers are arranged not merely as representations, but as emblems of admiration and timeless beauty. The project invites viewers to rediscover the emotional impact of nature through a technological mirror, merging the delicacy of Hokusai’s legacy with the precision of AI. Admirari is a reflection on how natural beauty and digital art can coexist, creating a bridge between past and future through awe.
