PROCESS
The project emerged from an experiment initiated in December 2025, when I converted the full archive of my visual and textual production into a dataset in order to construct an advanced AI-based system trained exclusively on the internal logic of my own practice. The intention was never to generate a visual narrative, but to create a process capable of reaching something deeper, something that felt almost like an extension of my subconscious. The results were immediate and impossible to ignore.
Once I recognized the force of those results, I extended the experiment into a more radical phase. I introduced new material created specifically for the system, including hand-painted plexiglass surfaces that were later scanned and absorbed back into the process as textures and structural fragments. At the same time, I entered into an ongoing verbal exchange with the LLM systems embedded in the process, using dialogue itself as a way of drawing the work outward. The process became visual, textual, and deeply relational.
Its arrival in physical form was equally important. The print reasserts one of the deepest concerns of my practice: the need to hold physical and digital space together without allowing either to dominate. Today, the real risk lies in forcing a false opposition between the two. My work only becomes complete in the delicate balance between the digital and the physical. The acceleration of digital culture is clearly one of the central engines of our time, yet losing contact with the physical and experiential dimension would mean losing something equally fundamental. That is why the physical component is not secondary, but essential to my practice.
Language remains just as central. The titles unfold as aphorisms, brief incisive phrases, and compressed verbal fragments, a form I have long used as a direct channel for existential tension, compression, and clarity. The entire series is shaped by that atmosphere. These images may initially appear foreign, almost alien, yet what they reveal is not an outside presence but an interior one. Their strangeness becomes familiar. That reversal lies at the heart of STRANGERS, a title that echoes a long literary tradition in which the stranger is never merely the unknown, but often the most intimate form of self-recognition.

Q&A
How does the NFT minting process work?
Each work is issued as a unique 1/1 NFT on the smart contract dedicated to the STRANGERS collection. Once the acquisition is confirmed, the NFT is minted and transferred to the collector. The accompanying physical work is then prepared for shipment, and delivery generally occurs within approximately two weeks.
The current STRANGERS contract is reserved exclusively for works released as part of the collection during 2026 and will be permanently capped after 31 December 2026.
What are the specifications of the physical piece?
Each acquisition includes a limited-edition fine-art print produced with pigment ink using Epson PrecisionCore technology and Epson UltraChrome inks on fine-art canvas.
The work is presented in a custom lacquered frame profile in a RAL color.
Size: 40 × 50 cm
Imperial equivalent: 15.7 × 19.7 inches
While the NFT is issued as a unique 1/1, the accompanying physical print is produced in a maximum edition of 10. No more than 10 physical prints of that specific work will ever be made.
What payment methods do you accept, and do you ship internationally?
We accept payment in both fiat and cryptocurrency, including Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), and USDC.
We ship worldwide using professional fine-art packaging and secure delivery methods. As international shipping concerns the physical component of the work, the accompanying documentation relates to the tangible piece being delivered. Any import duties or taxes, where applicable, are determined by the destination country and remain the responsibility of the collector.
