SYNTHMORPHIX is a series of digital illustrations created using a method I call P2P (Prompt-to-Paint) Jamming.

 

This process involves iterative collaboration with AI systems such as DALL-E and Midjourney to create art. While these tools can generate stunning finished artworks from a single prompt, SYNTHMORPHIX employs a process of refining initial outputs and completing them through hundreds of additional prompts using Photoshop. This iterative approach allows for adjustments to fix defects and low resolution associated with generative AI artworks, as well as to achieve specific visual and conceptual outcomes.

​

The creation process is sometimes similar to traditional painting. For example, when creating a portrait, as in my series SynthPRISM, the process starts with a digital sketch or photograph, outlining facial features, followed by detailed work on other parts of the body and background using Photoshop to build the artworks layer by layer. Completing a single image can sometimes take weeks.

​

I use the term “jamming” to describe the SYNTHMORPHIX process because it resembles the improvisational nature of musicians to create unique compositions. Similarly, I use multiple prompts to experiment with AI outputs, which are then curated to form a unique final artwork.

​

By blending synthetic and human creativity, SYNTHMORPHIX aims to foster curiosity and dialogue about the interplay between technology and art, highlighting the potential of AI as a collaborative tool rather than a replacement for human ingenuity.
