After I first played with AI generated images last June I started this piece as my first painting based on such a reference. I used 3D-modelling tools for concept work for many of my paintings since the early 90s so I'm trying to see this as another tool. However, AI is quite a different beast. It's capable to fake creativity and aesthetics on a high level and it's getting better and better. I'm aware that AI is a double-edged sword and I do feel some level of discomfort when using it. On the other hand I just can't ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist. I'm trying hard to make a use of it in such a way that I can produce something even more interesting by merging it with my own visions.
This painting is the first piece of my planned series Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
