In a world obsessed with perfection, symmetry, and hyperrealism, I find comfort—and inspiration—in the chaos. As a digital artist working with AI, my practice is rooted in the unpredictable. I create abstract artworks and dystopian and abstract portraits that lean into distortion, ambiguity, and imperfection. It’s in this space—where control dissolves into suggestion—that I feel closest to something real.

Why Abstraction?

Abstraction allows for emotion without instruction. It invites the viewer to slow down, to feel rather than interpret. Where figurative art often answers questions, abstraction asks them. There’s no single narrative, no imposed meaning. Each piece I create exists as a shifting mirror—what you see depends on where you’re standing emotionally, mentally, spiritually. In this way, abstraction resists automation. It demands presence.

The Role of AI in Embracing Chaos

AI is often thought of as cold, calculated, logical. But in the realm of generative art, it’s far from sterile. In fact, the way AI “misunderstands” prompts, bends reality, and fills gaps in surreal or unsettling ways is a kind of digital intuition. That’s where my work begins—with something real, something personal. Every AI artwork I create begins with a photograph or digital piece that I’ve made myself. This starting point grounds the work in my own creative fingerprint. It ensures that no matter how much the output mutates or evolves, it still originates from my hand, my eye, my vision.

This foundational layer gives the AI something to react to – not a blank slate, but a rich field of texture, meaning, and intention. It makes every result truly mine, even when it’s distorted beyond recognition.

Control vs. Surrender

There’s a dance between control and surrender in this work. I guide the AI’s hand, but I don’t aim to tame it. I introduce ambiguity on purpose. I remix, distort, reinterpret—but I never erase the soul of the source image. Some artists strive to “correct” the AI, to force its outputs to mimic human mastery. I don’t. I’d rather reveal the cracks, the glitches, the strange beauty in the errors.

That’s where the soul is.

A Mirror for the Modern Psyche

We live in uncertain times—socially, politically, and environmentally. There’s fragmentation, noise, and overwhelm. I believe abstraction—especially dystopian or dreamlike—reflects that reality more honestly than any pristine portrait. It speaks to a collective anxiety. A longing for meaning in a fractured world.

Final Thoughts

Embracing chaos through abstraction and AI isn’t about giving up control. It’s about recognizing the limitations of control—and choosing to explore what lies beyond it. And for me, starting with something real—something I’ve made—grounds that chaos in authenticity. It becomes a collaboration between the known and the unknown.

That’s where the art begins.
