About this artwork

In the ESSENTIA series, I explore the dialogue between artificial intelligence and painting as an essential medium. AI allows me to design utopian architectures and spaces of silence, while manual intervention—through acrylic, airbrush, and oil—restores the work's tactile, imperfect, and human dimension.
In ESSENTIA II, the geometric purity of a white, symmetrical architecture is interrupted by a minimal gesture: a clothesline. This everyday element… fractures the ideal composition, introducing vulnerability and domesticity into a space that embodies the aspiration for perfection.
The absence of human figures reveals their symbolic presence: clothing becomes a sign of life, memory, and resistance to the narrative of silent luxury. The work thus poses an essential question: what remains of the posthuman architecture of desire and representation?

I am a visual artist and art teacher. My work is part of the ESSENTIA project, an investigation into the foundations of human existence and the structures that mediate our relationship with the environment.

In this context, the ESSENTIA series forms the core of my practice. Through an architectural and minimalist pictorial language, I explore light, silence, and space as conceptual material. These compositions, dominated by whites and blues, question human presence through its absence.

My process, a hybrid of digital and manual techniques, is situated within posthumanist thought: the work emerges as an organism that integrates technology, matter, and consciousness. ESSENTIA reflects on the human condition, contemporary living, and the search for balance between control, displacement, and vulnerability.
