The Soul in Art – and AI: Is it Really There?
The Moment That Changed Everything
It was a moment when time seemed to stand still. Not in a gallery, not in a studio, but in a deeply personal space. The world before this moment was different. Within me grew the certainty that a turning point in time was imminent. It was a premonition, an intuition that condensed with every conversation, with every thought about the future. The word „AI“ stood unsaid in the room, like a thunderstorm brewing in the distance. As an artist, you sometimes feel the frequency of a new era before it even begins.
Then the day came. When my first work of art—“Image No. 01″—was finished, I held it in my hands. 80×80 cm canvas, created in the interplay of AI and natural materials, the first prototype of QuantumNature-Art. I was blown away. It was more than a picture; it was a resonance that passed through me.
Goosebumps.
The first person who saw it couldn’t grasp it. „What is that?“ he asked. „This has never existed before.“ I listened to him and felt that what he was describing was exactly what had arisen within me during the creation process. They are dimensions and spaces that lie deep inside me and had long been forgotten. The foreground becomes the background, everything is in suspension, and yet there is an unwavering clarity in the space. I still feel the same resonance today when I look at it. And I see it in the eyes of people at exhibitions. They linger, come back, lose themselves in it. It is a connection that touches not only the eye but the entire soul. In these moments, I feel that the soul is not missing—it is more present than ever. It is the will that guides the technology.
Old Masters, New Partners: The Irreplaceable Soul of the Artist
Sometimes as an artist, you are ahead of your time, or you operate in a different space. That’s what makes it so. Gustav Klimt was a rebel. He broke with historical painting, experimenting with gold, symbolism, and eroticism. His works like The Kiss are not just visual—they are emotional, mysterious, human. Old masters like Rembrandt or da Vinci painted with an intention born from experience, pain, and hope. They were seekers. Questioners. Wounded.
AI, on the other hand, knows no biography. No childhood. No dreams. It paints from data, but not from darkness.
The Heart of Art: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
This is precisely where the artist’s irreplaceable role lies. Because no matter what their name was or what it is, the artist puts their entire being into their works. In the past, in the present, and also in the future with AI. The technology may change, the tools may evolve, but the essence of the creative act remains the same: the soul of the human being, which manifests in presence and frequency. My art is proof that the algorithm does not replace the soul, but can become a partner that helps us express the depths of our being in a way that was previously unimaginable. It is the bridge. And the artist is the one who builds it.
