"Geometric Maelstrom" Artwork

Born in Brescia in 1957 and raised in Milan, Alberto Capitani is a digital artist bridging classical training and contemporary AI. A piano graduate of the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory (with further studies in composition and electronic music), he also pursued mathematical logic and theoretical philosophy at the University of Milan. After more than four decades teaching piano, he shifted to visual arts, working with Midjourney, DALL-E, and ChatGPT to create a body of about 1,700 works. Images and texts are conceived as complementary parts, and series statements act as the red thread that frames each collection as a complete graphic-conceptual story. His research is deliberately open in style: style is a means — and sometimes the spark — in the pursuit of artistic substance. Artist Statement I work at the intersection of images and words. Many pieces are conceived as pairs: an image and a concise text that complete one another. Beyond single works, I build graphic-conceptual stories guided by a series statement that sets context, tone, and direction. With AI as my studio partner, I move between algorithm and metaphor, light and irony, searching for forms that question themselves and invite the viewer to follow the thread of the series. Each work negotiates between the visible and the invisible, the structured and the spontaneous, the human and the artificial.
