-In my artistic practice, the central theme revolves around the exploration of the being from an introspective - emotional perspective, analyzing the relationship between humans and technology. I’m interested in how emotions can be interpreted, transformed or even generated in a digital environment, and how this influences our perception of identity and the bond we establish with technology.

Therefore, I immerse myself in the complexities of the human experience, capturing the moments of vulnerability and strength that define us, while reflecting on the constant evolution of the self over time. Typically, my choices are heavily influenced by the concept of duality, the intersection between human emotions and the structured logic of machines: conceptual contrast. This duality constantly arises from my interest in chaos theory, which acts as a common thread in my work. It is a continuous search for balance between order and disorder, where even the most chaotic patterns hide an underlying structure. I’m inspired by how time itself is a force that transforms chaos into order, setting the pace of our existence and, consequently, our emotions.

-My creative process begins with an idea inspired by an emotion that I feel or want to explore. This initial emotion acts as a guide, leading me to a process of reflection in which the machine becomes an essential collaborator, creating a dialogue around the topic. It is a flexible and ever-changing journey that combines deep concepts with the possibilities of digital tools.

During the ideation phase, I go deeper into the themes I want to express, such as identity and its connection between human emotions and technology. This stage requires a lot of introspection and research, where I find inspiration in nature, chaos, duality and my own experiences.

Then I move on to planning, where I visualize ideas to define the aesthetic elements and how they will translate into a digital format. In this phase, I also consider the interaction the piece will have, whether through real-time data, movement or interactivity, and I reflect on the relationship between the viewer and the work, something essential in my pieces.

The next stage is technical, in which I use tools such as TouchDesigner and ComfyUI, among others, to develop the work. These softwares allow me to generate and manipulate images, integrate AI-based processes, and define how video, sound, and data interact. Programming, visually, becomes essential at this point, as I establish rules and algorithms that guide the generative aspects of the work, maintaining the flexibility to adjust the piece during its development.

With AI, I integrate models that drive visual and interactive elements based on patterns or data inputs, allowing me to experiment with concepts such as randomness and order, exploring chaos. This process includes constant iteration, where I refine the work by observing how the elements interact and evolve.

Finally, when the piece is ready to be presented, I make sure that it’s not only visually coherent, but also invites the viewer to interact, reflect and delve deeper into the proposed concepts. Throughout the entire process, there is a continuous dialogue between creativity and technique, allowing me to explore the limits of digital without losing the emotional depth and reflection that I seek to provoke in my art.

-While each of my works embodies personal stories shaped by lived experiences, two series in particular have been pivotal in my journey: Irae and Amores. However, there are two pieces within them that carry a deeply personal essence: Ruptis and Proprium.

Irae marked the beginning of a transformative shift, a point where I decided to let go of perspectives and practices that no longer served me. I was in conflict with my work, my direction, and my surroundings, realizing that continuing along the same path would lead to burnout. During a conversation with Barbi Ares—my partner in art and life—she encouraged me to take a break, something I had rarely considered. With this pause, and through the decision to begin psychoanalysis, I gained a fresh perspective on the present, something I hadn’t previously explored. This burnout, this eruption of emotions and frustration, birthed Ruptis, the first piece in the series—a depiction of rupture. The sculpture symbolizes that pivotal moment of tension, capturing my dilemma between risking change or staying within my comfort zone. The figure explodes into fragments, each carefully analyzed within its space. This deconstruction became a metaphor for releasing what no longer served me, pausing to see clearly, and retaining only what propelled me forward. To me, Ruptis is a snapshot of that decisive moment: stopping everything to consider what I could leave behind, so I could move ahead unburdened.

From this process of shedding, Amores emerged—a series that explores love and its different forms throughout my life. Within this series, Proprium (Symbiosis .001) represents the growth that followed my earlier transformation. This piece is born from self-love, explored in an instinctive, unconscious way. It’s the outcome of Symbiosis, an interactive generative system I created while experimenting with unfamiliar tools in a spirit of playful creativity. The piece blossomed naturally, without judgment, and ended up as a finalist in the Claire Silver AI Art Contest 7, exhibited at the Ai4 Conference at MGM Las Vegas. The piece, with flowers dancing in sync with human change and renewal, captures the journey toward rebirth through strength and joy.

Together, these pieces trace a path from rupture to blooming, mirroring my own evolution. Beyond just capturing my personal state, I hope they resonate as messages of resilience and encouragement for those facing similar challenges.

-Technology has profoundly transformed my work, and I say this keeping in mind that my beginnings in art were with analog techniques. The integration of technology throughout the development of my career, and especially since I consolidated Sares, allows me to create immersive and constantly evolving pieces that go beyond the visual and static, focusing on experiences that provide a moment of pause and introspection within the daily whirlwind in which the being is immersed. Visual coding tools like TouchDesigner and ComfyUI allow me to manipulate different types of information, fusing visuals, sound, and data in ways that bring my concepts to life. Through AI and generative algorithms, I can introduce an element of unpredictability that reflects my vision, and control the unpredictability of chaos, giving rise to randomness as a dynamic element within my works. This allows each piece to respond creating a unique experience for each viewer and connecting the digital with the human.

This technological integration allows me to explore complex topics, such as self, identity and emotions in a context of globalized culture with personalized consumption guided by algorithms, in deeper ways. By fusing traditional aesthetics with advanced digital techniques, I seek to create art that is not only thought-provoking, but also challenges the viewer to engage with the ever-changing relationship between humanity and technology.

-For me, authorship in AI-powered art is complex but not ambiguous: AI as a tool or collaborator, and the artist remains the author, although during the process they become one mind, but maintaining a certain individuality. The machine provides technical capacity, but it’s the human who defines the intention, the message, the concept and the final purpose of the work. Furthermore, the relationship with AI allows authorship to be questioned and explored in an expanded way, where the artist becomes a curator of processes, making it possible to create in previously unattainable territories. Authorship can also be collective in the sense that it integrates the collaboration of other artists who contribute to models and datasets.

It is crucial to protect the rights of artists and the originality of their work, and it would be nice to explore the role of CC0 rights. The use of AI should be handled with transparency, ensuring that credit and intellectual property are respected, and preventing the dilution of the value of human creativity. It’s important to note that it’s also essential for humans to act accordingly, as we are the ones who shape the tool, so that’s our responsibility.

-I was attracted to the application for the AiHokusai residency because it offers a unique opportunity to merge my artistic practice with the exploration of traditional art and cutting-edge technology, working from a legacy that was built, developed, maintained and evolved over the years. the history of art. Hokusai's work, with its deep connection to nature, movement, and the human experience, aligns with many themes in my own art. I have always been fascinated by the intersection of past and future, and Hokusai's ability to capture fleeting moments in nature resonates with my continued exploration of how technology, especially AI, can improve and expand our understanding of the human condition.

Through this residency, I see an opportunity to engage with Hokusai's legacy in a way that feels respectful and innovative. It presents an exciting challenge to integrate my digital and generative art practices with the philosophies of traditional craftsmanship and the construction of a creation methodology inspired by the essence of manga. The residence offers an inspiring space to explore how technology can reinterpret nature, emotion and identity, bringing a contemporary experimental approach to classic themes. I believe this intersection will allow me to push my creative limits while deepening my connection to the timeless beauty of Hokusai's work while incorporating another type of perspective into my work.

I’m currently working on the conceptualization of the big idea that I will develop as a project within the residency, and I must say that the result of the exploration, in collaboration with LLM models, is being something truly fascinating, from every sense, since it allows analyze in detail each element that makes up Hokusai's work. Although success does not have a formula, now I can say that a solid legacy built over the years does, since it is what keeps it in constant movement over time even if it remains stable.

-During my time in the AiHokusai residency, I hope to further explore the intersection of tradition and innovation, particularly in the context of Japanese art. I aim to deepen my understanding of how historical artistic movements and techniques can inform and transform contemporary creative processes, especially with the integration of AI and generative art. By analyzing and engaging with masterpieces that have shaped the art world, I want to push the boundaries of my own work, experimenting with new ways of combining these influences with my personal exploration of human-machine relationships and emotions.

In terms of impact, I want my work to invite viewers to pause and reflect on their own experiences and emotions in relation to technology and the world around them. Through my visual reflections, I hope to evoke a sense of introspection, while also offering a fresh perspective on how art can be created and experienced in the digital age. Ultimately, I want my pieces to inspire viewers to consider the evolving relationship between humans and machines, and to question how technology shapes our understanding of self and the world.

-I see Artificial Intelligence as an invitation to step out of the comfort zones we know and reconnect with our creative essence. I view it as a form of alchemy, a process of transformation in every sense. As a technology, it brings about a truly fascinating change, especially when combined with other tools. It’s like a vast laboratory full of possibilities, where you can freely experiment and mix images, videos, audio, text, and data in any way you choose. If I had to sum it up, I would say that AI has brought back that playful feeling, like when you get a spark of an idea and sit down in front of a blank canvas, prioritizing expression and experimentation.

Previously, my process focused on expressing an idea through clear aesthetic guidelines that defined my style and technique. With AI, this has changed deeply: now the idea is not fixed, but evolves throughout the process. Ideas emerge, transform, disappear, and reappear. The focus has shifted to emotional expression. AI has helped me understand that what’s truly important is not only the final result but the journey and transformations that occur throughout the creative process.

In my workflow, AI plays a crucial role, as many of the foundations I work with come from interactions with this technology. From there, I manipulate those results using both internal and external data when applicable. This interaction between generative art and AI can occur within the same set of tools. Additionally, I would like to emphasize that I’m not only referring to diffusion models; at this point, I’m exploring the integration of text models into the creative process to create a fully collaborative creation between machine and human.

-AI opens up vast new possibilities for visual storytelling by enabling dynamic, interactive, and personalized narratives that adapt to the viewer in real time. Unlike traditional storytelling, which is often linear and static, AI-driven art can respond to data inputs, emotions, or interactions, making each viewer’s experience unique. This adaptability allows for layered storytelling, where visuals can change and evolve, revealing different aspects of a story depending on the viewer’s actions or even their emotional responses.

AI also expands the boundaries of imagination. Generative models can visualize complex concepts that are difficult to represent through traditional means, allowing for narratives that mix reality with abstract, surreal, or even dream-like elements. For example, in my work, AI-driven elements allow me to bring complex themes like identity and transformation to life in ways that adapt and change, capturing the chaotic, layered nature of human experience.

Ultimately, AI empowers artists to craft stories that are immersive and continually evolving, transforming the viewer from a passive observer into an active participant in the narrative. This shifts storytelling from a fixed narrative into a dynamic exchange, creating a new form of art that feels alive and deeply personal.

-I would sum it up in three words: Trust, Patience, and Discipline.

To begin, I must highlight one of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever received from someone I now consider a mentor. During one of my darkest moments, a friend, pointing to his tattoo of the word “Trust,” told me: “Trust.” That simple word reshaped my perspective at 22 and empowered me to take control of my life. I still apply and build on this principle today, deepening my understanding over the past decade. Trusting the process is just as vital as the end result. Enjoy the journey—there's a song in Argentina which saids, “Without enjoying things, even the best things tire you out.” As artists and individuals, we are in constant evolution. Embrace it, enjoy it, and play with it, because we stop evolving only when we stop creating.

Patience is essential, and I speak from experience as someone who didn’t truly grasp this concept until last year. Things need space to develop, and creating that space requires pausing, reflecting, understanding, and testing. Time is a crucial element. Give yourself and the process time to bear fruit. This doesn’t happen instantly; it’s a journey that unfolds over time.

Lastly, discipline. It’s essential to stay committed, remain curious, and express our true selves authentically, which requires continuous effort. This applies not only as artists but also as individuals. The creativity we express is tied to our personal growth. When frustration hits and we feel like giving up, we must keep pushing. If we fall again, we rise again. Discipline takes inspiration and talent and transforms them into real progress. While creativity may spark in moments of inspiration, it is consistency and daily effort that cultivate skills, generate new ideas, and refine the art. It builds resilience against challenges, helping us continuously grow and reach new heights.
