Most people think AI art is about the prompt. It’s not. If you’re trying to create something that could survive a serious jury — especially one connected to a museum tradition — AI becomes less like a magic wand and more like a brutally honest creative partner: it helps you see the gaps you didn’t…
I started with a very normal, very unromantic thing: a quick selfie. Bad light, modern hoodie, “just get it done” energy. The kind of photo you take when you don’t want to think about photos. And then I looked at Steffen Diemer’s work again—and felt the opposite of “quick.” Diemer’s works don’t look like images….
Each time I look at the masters, really look, not just “see”, I notice something different. This time, the key word is balance. Not the polite, decorative balance you learn in school. I mean balance as perfection, that feeling that nothing is missing and nothing is too much. The quiet certainty that the work is complete….
When I paint, I am not trying to be good. I am not trying to make it nice. I am not even trying to make the message visible. I don’t like to say that I “make art”. Honestly, I have no idea what art really is. I don’t know the proper techniques, or the right…
Every artist meets this question sooner or later: Should I show my work, or keep it private?There is no single right answer. But there is a clear way to think about it. Why you make art matters People create for different reasons: To sell. You make art because it is your job or an important…

Every artist faces a fundamental question: What drives your creativity? The answer shapes not only the art you create but also how you connect with the world. In my view, artists tend to fall into two broad categories: commercial artists and non-commercial artists. Neither is inherently better than the other—both require immense skill, talent, and…
You’re not in the spotlight.You don’t show up on every podcast.You’re not giving talks at local conferences just to prove who you are. You’re not plastered on billboards.You don’t have a PR team spinning your story.Nobody’s making noise around you — but those who know, KNOW. Only insiders know who you are.The real people in…
After finishing my Streets of Chicago series, I continued exploring new ways of working with AI — something I consider a form of posthuman co-creation. Following my journey through Japan, I began developing a new project: street photography co-created with AI. Even the title alone raises obvious contradictions. Can AI help create street photography —…
Abstract Artistic innovation has long been catalyzed by societal upheaval, as evidenced by movements like Expressionism, Dada, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism, each born from historical crises. Today, a multifaceted “global crisis matrix” encompassing geopolitical tensions, AI-driven epistemic disruptions, ecological instability, and a 25% rise in global anxiety (WHO, post-2020) sets the stage for a new…
