There is no fixed and recognizable subject, thus you are free to construct an independent image of the subject, so I leave it to you.

Study for Disturbo No.2, 17 Oct 2024

This piece is an homage to Michelangelo’s seminal 1492 work and is inspired by the subject from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. It seeks to breathe life into the eternal struggle marbled by the Master. In depicting this undulating mass of flesh—merging and distorting bodies, emerging and disappearing—I wanted to emphasize the blurred lines between man and centaur, civilization and barbarism, where one may easily become the other.

Battle of the Centaurs (2024)

This generative video artwork from the Disturbi series is the result of my exploration of the interplay between chaos and harmony. My intention was to create unidentifiable and disjointed forms and make them flow together in a single coherent rhythm, crafting a composition where disorder gives rise to an enigmatic sense of balance. With this, I sought to reflect the paradox of chaos—a state that may seem disordered but still holds the potential for rhythm, beauty, and profound insight.

Any other meaning is left behind. It is up to you to join other observers, concurrently searching for their own individual interpretations.

Disturbo No.1

With this work I start my series SUMMA RUINA, exploring how AI transforms European masterpieces through imagery of war-torn Ukraine.

ABOUT THE WORK
What was once a domestic interior—a dining room where a Ukrainian family gathered, ate, and lived—has been obliterated by a Russian missile strike. No figures remain—only the memory of gathering. Every human presence has been erased, but the remnants of domestic life testify to who was here, to daily rituals now turned to debris.

This was someone’s last supper—not a sacred mystery, but a family’s final ordinary meal before a Russian missile reduced their home, their lives, everything, to dust and ashes.

Testament I represents the base iteration of this work—the first materialization of algorithmic chance colliding with classical devotion. Suitable for A4 printing at 300dpi, this digital edition captures the full devastation at a scale intimate enough to study traces of interrupted life.

ABOUT THE SERIES
This piece is part of SUMMA RUINA, a series transforming European masterpieces through AI trained on imagery of Russian war destruction in Ukraine. Each work operates on Duchampian principles: the collision of intention with algorithmic chance, mirroring how war makes the familiar unrecognizable while maintaining ghostly traces of what was.

IMPACT
I donate 50% of all proceeds from this series to support Ukrainian defense efforts. By collecting this work, you become part of preserving not just art, but Ukrainian people and culture from Russia's genocidal attack.

Last Supper in Kyiv, Testament I

These wrestling figures are not borrowed from reality, but only start to emerge from noise with the help of artist-guided Stable Diffusion algorithm. This search for the right bodies becomes instinctive.

Study of wrestling figures, 9 Dec 2023

This study follows 'Noise study for the Battle of Centaurs, 18 Feb 2022! This one contains a first version of sound for the final artwork. What's interesting about it, is that it was done on the evening of February 22, 2022 — just less than two days before Russia started full scale war against Ukraine, and I had to escape Kyiv with my family and abandon any work for more than a month.

Motion and sound study for the Battle of Centaurs, 22 Feb 2022

Art studies in the form of random collectible objects created out of nothing, mostly of random numbers and noise.

Studies

My interpretations of Ovid’s timeless stories, reimagined through the lens of a modern digitally connected world, where uncertainty and chance keep everything in constant flux. Each scene is locked in motion, an endless moment that never fades.

Metamorphoses

A series of generative video artworks created out of noise, exploring how chaos transforms into harmony. Strange and unknowable, they invite viewers to find fleeting meaning in shifting forms and movement—or simply to watch and wonder.

Disturbi

In besieged Mariupol in 2022, the city became hell on earth—a humanitarian catastrophe where tens of thousands were trapped in an active war zone, without escape. Volunteers risked their lives evacuating civilians, driving through active shelling to save whoever they could. What remains here is the wreckage of such an attempt: a red car door twisted by explosion, concrete debris suggesting an angel’s form, rubble and ash where rescue ended.

No figures remain—only the memory of those trying to save lives when no help came from above. Every human presence has been erased, but the fragments testify to who was here, to mercy attempted amid catastrophe. The question haunts: did Illia survive? The concrete angel offers no answer.

Testament I represents the base iteration of this work—the first materialization of algorithmic chance colliding with biblical prophecy. Suitable for A4 printing at 300dpi, this digital edition captures the full devastation at a scale intimate enough to study traces of interrupted mercy.
