"My creative process begins with a conceptual vision – an initial, intuitive idea that determines the direction of my work. This vision, although abstract, forms the basis for an exploratory phase, in which I use various digital techniques to translate it into a tangible form. Such as Photoshop, morphing software and AI.

I approach artificial intelligence as a tool, an extension of my creative palette, rather than an autonomous entity. Through a process of generation and curation, I use AI to produce a wide range of visual possibilities, selecting elements that best match my vision.

In Photoshop, I use these elements to build a composition that sometimes incorporates parts of antique and/or contemporary photographs, such as eyes. I fuse these eyes with the eyes I have created digitally using morphing software, creating “new eyes”. Every detail in my work is manually adjusted, refined and manipulated until I am satisfied with the end result. I see this process as digital painting."
