Prompt Not Found
You may interpret the cat in a barrel as a parody of Schrödinger’s cat, as being caught between existence and nonexistence. When you think about it, that’s what puzzles us about digital creation: it both exists and doesn’t, suspended between code and consciousness.
The cat in a barrel is also the image of chaos that can’t be contained. The three-layered glitch is everywhere, especially within the words and in the cat’s eyes. Why the number three, though?
That should remain open to interpretation, since the message itself is about the search for meaning.
AI creates sense from a raw dataset, but only on the surface, having an earth-like quality. Instead, the cerulean blue background invites you to contemplate the idea that real significance might be a matter of transcendence. graphicdesigner illustrator…You may interpret the cat in a barrel as a parody of Schrödinger’s cat, as being caught between existence and nonexistence.

Design from the Heart
In 2 Corinthians 12:7, Paul speaks of a “thorn in the flesh”. Just like that, the man in the illustration does the same with his own heart, signifying that real art requires a constant source of torment or struggle.
The same rose stem giving birth both to a screaming heart and to the wound-inducing thorn highlights the flower as a circular allegory of art itself: beauty and pain inseparable. graphicdesigner illustrator…In 2 Corinthians 12:7, Paul speaks of a “thorn in the flesh”.

This Is Not a Bug
This work is, of course, an allusion to The Treachery of Images, reimagined for the digital age. Magritte once said “this is not a pipe” to reveal the difference between object and representation.
Here, however, “this is not a bug” reclaims authorship from the algorithm.
The handmade, multi-headed bird is an ironic nod to the early stages of generative AI, when those first models used to multiply certain aspects of the prompted subject.
Ultimately, this poster questions perception itself. What if the so-called “bugs” in our technologies are the last traces of humanity they can’t suppress? graphicdesigner illustrator…This work is, of course, an allusion to The Treachery of Images, reimagined for the digital age.

Authenticity Isn't Downloadable
In order to support the message of this poster, I have created an expressive character, flourishing as he's looking up, because looking up is the perfect measure of authenticity. You are looking towards something higher than yourself. Honesty is very much tied to the act of transcending your ego by believing in something more important than self.
The hand-drawn pattern in the center may also be representative of both a fingerprint and a mandala, which means that identity can’t be copied. Every curve and flourish are, basically, a neural path.
The ochre and rust tones mimic the warmth of human skin, or the fragile materiality of a scroll, a work that took time and decay to exist. That’s a chromatic reminder that art remains biological, “un-uploadable” and “un-downloadable”.
Expression is not a file, it’s about filling the blanks with something you can’t define, with who you are, while what machines record as data are only residues of gestures, never gestures themselves. graphicdesigner illustrator…In order to support the message of this poster, I have created an expressive character, flourishing as he's looking up, because looking up is the perfect measure of authenticity.

We Feed It Dreams, It Returns Patterns
Is the hand-drawn figure merely “sleeping” or generating neural noise, as if the human subconscious is being compressed into a low-resolution format?
We may live in the age where the dream feeds the code, the code feeds the dream, and the boundary between handmade and generated begins to shimmer. But this isn’t a poster about art’s extinction. It’s designed to be a love letter to its persistence. graphicdesigner illustrator…Is the hand-drawn figure merely “sleeping” or generating neural noise, as if the human subconscious is being compressed into a low-resolution format?

Slowing Down
Here we are dealing with a cosmic and symbolic space, where fluctuating clocks and neon colors convey a sense of urgency, fast pace and suffocating rhythm.
And yet, as you can see, the middle section of the turtle turns green, just like some of the surrounding stars, signaling a process of slowing down. In this sense, the work is somewhat ironic, because it requires so much dynamism in order to suggest the very idea of stillness. graphicdesigner illustrator…Here we are dealing with a cosmic and symbolic space, where fluctuating clocks and neon colors convey a sense of urgency, fast pace and suffocating rhythm.

The Fall Continues
The wordplay bite/byte turns the original sin into a metaphor for digitalization and for humanity’s modern fall into technology, into its counterfeit version of knowledge.
The interruption of the word “Continues” by the apple-shaped house is deliberate irony. The apple stands as an avatar of the Fall, while the Fall itself is, by nature, an act of fragmentation and polarization. In other words, the only true continuity in our world is that of discontinuity. The frustration that comes from not being able to fully read the word “Continues” is intentional.
It’s meant to make you feel the Fall, to experience it as a small rupture, as a crisis of meaning both existential and literal. You can only read the word through effort, just as humanity can only enjoy the fruits of the earth after labor, after confronting “thorns and thistles.”
Well, green is, usually, the color of life and nature, but its slightly acidic tone suggests here the corruption of that vitality.
The background filled in with a subtle pattern of oval shapes and bubbles is designed to look like genetic / binary code, tying the organic and the digital into a single, coherent symbol. graphicdesigner illustrator…The wordplay bite/byte turns the original sin into a metaphor for digitalization and for humanity’s modern fall into technology, into its counterfeit version of knowledge.

Cloud Coverage
Funny thing, AI made “Head in the Clouds” literal. I mean, since AI stores our thoughts and ideas, “Head in the Clouds” becomes quite a literal expression, right? So, I figured it would be interesting to represent that.
More precisely, the full, suffocating sky of digital “clouds” becomes a visual stand-in for the loss of creative oxygen. Everything is gathered, processed, and mediated through the same system.
The pastel tones and clean layout suggest the deceptive friendliness of tech interfaces, while the typography, slightly compressed and boxed in, well, that's about the pressure of standardization. So, it’s a poster that feels calm on the surface but carries a quiet sense of existential weather, a forecast of increasing dependence. graphicdesigner illustrator…Funny thing, AI made “Head in the Clouds” literal.

No Roots, No Connection
This poster is designed to be very meta. If the word „Roots” were to disappear, there would literally be no connection between the two fragments of the illustration, because the typeface is morfologically consistent with the figure of the Tree of Knowledge, ensuring its continuity from one segment to the other.
The moving cars stand for mechanical action, therefore they represent the algorithm, so the whole composition echoes the structure of a neural network, transmitting its signal synapse by synapse.
In this sense, "No Roots, No Connection" becomes a statement about the fragility of meaning in the digital age:
No origin, no depth. No real communication, no progress. No roots, no connection. graphicdesigner illustrator…This poster is designed to be very meta.

Eggplant Pixie
This poster started as a prompt I could have easily given to an AI.
But instead of letting a model generate it, I decided to create it myself by hand, as an artist. In that simple decision lies the whole irony and beauty of the concept. What would have been a trivial output for a machine became, through my interpretation, a layered work full of humor and personality. graphicdesigner illustrator…This poster started as a prompt I could have easily given to an AI.

Enchanting Addiction
Enchanting Addiction is a poetic warning about how addictions, in general, will undermine our identity and purpose. But more specifically, it’s about how AI distorts the way we perceive art.
As you can see in the red insertion within the word Addiction, the letter A represents the point of origin, while “I” represents the destination. However, between the two, there is a fall, reflected in the slant of the letters “dd.”
That fall is also mirrored, or better said anticipated in the illustration itself: there is a human figure walking along a stem who has broken off the flower (the very element that provided balance and direction) in order to sacrifice it to the moon (the archetype of enchanting addiction). Of course, this leads to a plunge into the void.

Handmade Is The Future
Yes, in order to convey this message, I got my hands dirty with paint, photographed them, removed the background and blended them into the poster. The counter-reaction to AI can only be very, very personal: an act of will, physicality, and freedom.
We have already reached the point of AI-content inflation, and I believe that we are heading towards a resurgence of handmade art, which of course does not exclude the usage of digital techniques. In other words, I think the future belongs to those artists who develop original concepts and then combine analog and digital methods of creation.
