At art show, a photographer was inspired by my paintings and he had a professional Gen AI subscription. He ran my paintings from that show through Gen AI. When I watched what came out of it, it amazed me; I took the result as a canvas for my drawings, filled with more expressions and added more graphics elements, actually translated them to the language of graphics. With my personality and mystical symbolic thinking I created drawing compositions which had the Generative AI at the core. I liked experimenting with AI because it instantly produced a lot of new imaging out of my paintings and kicked off new life for them. Merging graphics techniques with Gen AI was a new experience for me, it stretched my creative muscles and let me work in a fresh and positive direction.
My paintings are surrealistic and whimsical. I people them with dream imagery, fantastic landscapes and beautiful women. I thoroughly build my compositions, each one is unique and sometimes grotesque.
Teaching is big part of my creative life. I teach realistic drawing and painting, create teenage portfolios that get them admitted to top schools. My students have been admitted to RISD, Ringling College of Art and Design, and Art Institute of Chicago.
