MY AI PROCESS
Painting, Music, and Generative AI:
A Living Dialogue of Creation
Painting, music, and generative AI may appear to inhabit distinct creative realms, yet they are bound by a shared essence: improvisation. Whether layering brushstrokes, riffing through melodies, or prompting an algorithm, the act of creation unfolds as a living dialogue—an iterative exchange shaped by intuition, adaptation, and response.
Through my P2P (Prompt-to-Paint) Method, I engage AI not merely as a tool, but as a collaborator. I prompt, refine, and transform—much like a jazz musician seeking harmony or a painter reworking a canvas toward resonance. Each artwork is the result of an iterative and layered process that may unfold over days or even weeks, allowing time for the piece to mature and reveal its final form. This process also involves carefully identifying and correcting the common distortions or anatomical anomalies produced by AI, restoring coherence and intentionality to the image. This dynamic approach underpins SYNTHMORPHIX, a growing body of AI-generated artworks that I curate and evolve through selective editing and layered construction.
But SYNTHMORPHIX is more than a method—it is a meditation on the accelerating entwinement of human creativity and machine intelligence. As we fuse more intimately with our technologies, we evolve not only our instruments, but also our perceptions, aesthetics, and even our consciousness. This synthesis opens unprecedented creative horizons while simultaneously demanding critical reflection—raising pressing questions about identity, power, and the dissolving boundaries between the organic and the synthetic.
This creative and ethical tension forms the foundation of my photo-surrealistic Ai works, which I describe as SYNTHMORPHIX REALISM: a visual language I am actively developing to explore the recursive, hybrid realities emerging from human–machine collaboration. In SYNTHMORPHIX REALISM, reality is no longer fixed or singular—it is fluid, co-shaped by biological intuition and artificial computation.
By improvising with AI through my P2P Method, SYNTHMORPHIX becomes a vessel not just for preserving shared memories, but for channeling the soul—guiding us through the transformative journey of post-biological creativity. In this context, art becomes a transcendental medium—an intuitive compass for navigating, interrogating, and shaping the ever-evolving terrain of curiosity and creative exploration.
"What I love about Dinorah's work is that she collects imagery—a whole batch of material to sort through—and then uses digital processes in Photoshop to construct an image."

"I think photography is the easiest medium in which to be competent, but the hardest medium in which to have a personal vision … what Dinorah's doing is very interesting as photographs...They're excellent photographs ... They're very much a painter's attitude, a painter's vision. It almost looks to me like constructing actors on a stage."
