About
“No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.” – Oscar Wilde
Art has always been my language of imagination, but my 23 years at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center revealed another form of creativity: teaching machines to think through neural networks and deep learning. The intersection of these two paths reshaped my artistic vision. I began to see randomness not as noise, but as a creative force—one shared by both the natural world and artistic expression. In 2023, my contribution to Curating Sports Highlights with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning was honored with an Emmy Award—a testament to how AI can transform the way we tell stories, whether on a canvas or on a global stage.
By harnessing machine learning to generate new visual textures and styles, I invite technology into the studio as a kind of co-creator. The machine offers chaos; I respond with intuition, rhythm, and balance. The outcome is never predetermined. Each work is a discovery, a negotiation between order and disorder, logic and imagination.
My curiosity extends beyond the canvas, into the vast connections between quantum mechanics, the evolution of the universe, the human brain, and the mystery of consciousness. I’m fascinated by illusion theory and the possibility of forging entirely new artistic movements born from quantum principles—art that doesn’t just depict reality, but reimagines how we perceive it.
