"New"Veau

"New"Veau is a recent project that showcases paintings inspired by art nouveau but with a unique twist. Using experimental techniques with artificial intelligence, the project aims to create odd and beautiful portraits that break away from traditional art nouveau artwork. The basis of each piece is about what the A.I. thought art nouveau was and how it tried to adapt when I intentionally tried to trip it up. Even though a lot of it is wrong, there is something interesting, bizarre, and beautiful in some of the choices it made. The idea that art nouveau is a style based in nature, and some of pieces are completely un-natural, give them an interesting juxtaposition. Each oil painting is a result of collaging AI images together, making digital changes, and reinterpreting the final image to produce a truly one-of-a-kind piece of art.
