Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This whimsical artwork is a wooden cutout in the shape of a young girl's face. The colors are warm, with shades of pink and brown, and the overall composition is circular, drawing the viewer's attention to the girl's smiling expression. The simplistic, childlike style and the use of basic shapes and lines suggest this may be a vintage or folk art piece. The artwork likely reflects the artist's intention to capture the innocence and joy of childhood in a playful, accessible manner. ...

B.1982, Spanish

Saelia Aparicio’s multidisciplinary practice – which spans sculpture and assemblage, large-scale drawings and paintings, videos and installations – is speculative by nature and involves the construction of fictional, liminal worlds. The hybridised bodies within this universe often represented as line drawings on walls or rendered as colourful, free-standing sculptures, are ethereal, uncanny, and almost human. Embodying both utopia and dystopia and blurring the separation between the two, these characters are contorted into the shape of seats or adorned with sprawling plants, lights and mouth-blown glassware. In addition, Aparicio subtly discusses the climate and housing crises, invasive species – both human and otherwise – and pollution. Her work invites the viewer to imagine alternative futures, at once wholesome, generative, and thoroughly catastrophic. ...
