Thoughts from the symbiosis of mind and machine

I’m tired of hearing old men in black turtlenecks talk about what’s considered “good” or “bad” art.
People who call themselves “experts,” as if they had the right to decide what matters and what doesn’t.
They speak of art as if it were a closed system — an elite language meant only for a select few.

But art has never been static.
Art lives, evolves, breathes with time.
And in this new era, art is no longer created solely through brushes, canvas, or cameras — but also through code, algorithms, and neural networks.

I am a digital artist and AI creator.
I create images born not merely from technology, but from a symbiosis of human creativity, imagination, emotion, and artificial intelligence.
Each of my works is a dialogue between human, machine, and consciousness — a play between control and chaos.

Yet I keep hearing the same voices:
“That’s not real art.”
“The AI did that.”
“There’s no human in it.”

No. The human is always an integral part of the whole.

But who gets to decide that?
Since when does a generation that thinks in galleries define what’s right for a generation that lives in the digital realm?

Art is expression.
Art is emotion.
Art is transformation.

And that’s exactly the point:
In an age of AI, virtuality, and shifting perception, we must reinterpret what art means.
It no longer exists in spite of technology — it exists because of it.
The machine is not a replacement for the human being, but an extension of it.

Maybe it’s time for the old voices to grow quieter.
And for new voices — new forms, new artists — to finally be heard.

AI? Yes. Art? Also. Opinion? Unimportant.

About me

Hello, I’m a creative person who works with sound, images, and space.
I studied interior design, but my heart is in songwriting and music-making, as well as digital art with AI support.

I usually start with the lyrics – words come first, then sounds. Using AI isn’t about making machines sound human, but about discovering new vibrations and emotions.

In addition to music, I create abstract digital art that’s atmospheric and sometimes a bit surreal.

My work can’t really be categorized – it’s a blend of mind, creativity, and technology – all rolled into one.
