Where do you locate yourself in relation to the systems you work with?
I see myself as an explorer who found in AI tools the long-awaited language to express my inner vision. For a long time, my perceptions of objects and how they interact were building up inside me without finding a shape—AI became the bridge that finally allowed me to articulate this personal intuition in a visual space. I am an active participant in a process where these systems help me reveal things that were previously impossible to convey. My position is one of trusting my instincts to find forms that resonate with how I feel the world, turning abstract ideas into tangible visual statements
Where are you heading, and what is pulling you there?
My practice is evolving toward a multi-layered synthesis where digital creation is the core, but it’s constantly infused with fragments from the physical world. I’m moving away from straightforward generation toward an improvisational mix of tools—deciding on the fly which systems to combine and how to layer them. I’m drawn to capturing accidental, fleeting forms, like the patterns in melting snow or the curve of a creature's face I might see in a slice of cheese. I catch these outlines in my imagination, digitize them, and then 'bring them to life' through this spontaneous process to get the result that actually feels right to me.
How would you describe the space your practice is currently unfolding in?
My work happens in a very fluid, hybrid space where there’s no fixed boundary between the tools I use. It’s an environment of constant layering, where I combine objects born in different neural networks with digital reflections of the world around me. I really enjoy working with the unexpected—finding a shape in the environment, rethinking it, and then "revealing" it through a sequence of AI tools. It’s not a linear path; it’s more like an ongoing synthesis where an intuitive find from the real world gets a second life and a new meaning through this mix of technologies.
