Distortio journey

The Distortio collection is a striking exploration within Figurative / Portrait art, where the human form and face become the canvas for profound digital metamorphosis. The core subject remains recognizably human, but it is subjected to algorithmic, physical, and perceptual distortion—pulled, warped, fragmented, and reconfigured. This is achieved through advanced 3D/CGI techniques and AI/machine learning models that learn and exaggerate anatomical structures, creating forms that feel both organic and computationally altered. The process is inherently generative and conceptual digital, using distortion as a language to interrogate identity, perception, and the instability of the self in the digital age. While figurative, the results often push into the realm of digital abstraction, where features dissolve into fluid geometries or data-like noise. The aesthetic can range from sleek minimalism to visceral complexity, with motion/light playing a key role in enhancing the illusion of malleable, unstable matter. As a body of work firmly situated in post-photography, it captures a reality that never physically existed, presenting a portrait of the self remade by the latent possibilities—and distortions—inherent in the digital medium itself.
