Figure with dark eyes, 2023

It's a watercolor on Arches 300g/m² coton paper, 30x24 cm. It will be sold unframed, with a UV-protective fixative. Signed at the bottom right.

This watercolor was created during my artist residency at the Ateliers Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris, between November 2023 and July 2024. It is part of a series of works that will be featured in my exhibition "The Alteration of the World," reflecting the research conducted on the metamorphosis of the world in the age of artificial intelligence.

Since the development of the first AI for creating and transforming images, I have started this series called "Apparitions." In this series, I work around concepts that have always been dear to me, such as monstrosity, strangeness, and the hybridization of the human. By combining image synthesis with my own personal image bank, I mutate shapes and faces, giving rise to ghostly, even monstrous beings, which will serve as models for my paintings.
