"The truth is that beauty exists beyond the ordinary." D. Barra



"DIS/vƏrsƏ 🥀 is a thought-provoking project of glitch art and AI presenting a new idea of beauty, which the artist calls "the thorn sense of beauty".


Essentially, it is a project about the incomprehensible vanity and love of the physical appearances of the people of the world.


Through careful experimentation and a conceptual approach, in this

group of AI + Glitch Art projects that are part of my DISØRDINARY BƏAUTY 🥀

I am working to offer counter-narratives and short circuits to demystify traditional aesthetic canons. My works, characterised by powerful and disturbing visual language, invite the viewer to deeply reflect on the perception of the body, identity, and the work of art in the digital age. I use glitches, distortions, and manipulations to create hybrid and destabilising visual worlds, raising questions about the very nature of reality and the construction of images. My work, in addition to being an aesthetic investigation, is an invitation to social criticism, questioning cultural, beauty, and success models imposed by the media, as well as the ethical implications of artificial intelligence, which comes into contact with humanity through a different notion of imperfection and error.

I work to promote inclusivity, self-respect, and self-awareness—a ground for experimental practices with art making, writing, and curating—the redemption of imperfection.
