• I am a self-taught artist and tao alchemist working across photography, painting, drawing and digital art, and AI-driven image creation. My practice is rooted in a transformative awakening that reshaped both my life and artistic direction, leading me into deep inner work and an ongoing process of individuation.

german:

Ich bin eine autodidaktischer Künstlerin , die sich in den Bereichen Fotografie, Malerei, Zeichnung, digitale Kunst und KI-gestützte Bildgestaltung bewegt. Meine künstlerische Praxis hat ihren Ursprung in einem transformativen Erwachen, das sowohl mein Leben als auch meine künstlerische Ausrichtung neu geprägt und mich zu einer tiefgreifenden inneren Arbeit sowie einem fortwährenden Prozess der Individuation geführt hat.

  • My background in photography—spanning film sets, darkroom practice, and commercial work—grounds my visual language, while my current approach moves beyond traditional representation. Since 2016, I have developed an intuitive, non-conformist process of creating from digital “formlessness,” shaping images that emerge through experimentation rather than predefined structure. What began as photographic editing evolved into a method of constructing visual worlds that feel both fluid and generative.

german :

Mein fotografischer Hintergrund – der Filmkulissen, die Arbeit in der Dunkelkammer und kommerzielle Projekte umfasst – bildet die Grundlage meiner Bildsprache, während mein aktueller Ansatz über die traditionelle Darstellung hinausgeht. Seit 2016 habe ich einen intuitiven, nonkonformistischen Schaffensprozess entwickelt, der aus digitaler „Formlosigkeit“ entsteht und Bilder formt, die eher durch Experimentieren als durch vordefinierte Strukturen entstehen. Was als fotografische Bildbearbeitung begann, hat sich zu einer Methode entwickelt, visuelle Welten zu erschaffen, die sich sowohl fließend als auch generativ anfühlen.

  • My work explores transformation, movement, and emotional resonance, often resisting the static nature of the digital image. I continuously rework my own source material, integrating photography, drawing, and painting with AI tools. While engaging with AI since 2023, I approach it critically—as a medium that requires human intervention to produce variation, depth, and originality.

german :

In meinen Arbeiten beschäftige ich mich mit Transformation, Bewegung und emotionaler Resonanz und widersetze mich dabei oft der statischen Natur des digitalen Bildes. Ich bearbeite mein eigenes Ausgangsmaterial kontinuierlich neu und verbinde dabei Fotografie, Zeichnung und Malerei mit KI-Tools. Obwohl ich mich seit 2023 mit KI beschäftige, betrachte ich sie kritisch – als ein Medium, das menschliches Eingreifen erfordert, um Variation, Tiefe und Originalität zu erzeugen.

  • Conceptually, my practice is informed by the idea of creation arising from within. I see consciousness as a kind of invisible canvas from which forms emerge and dissolve. My work seeks to give visual expression to this process—where images appear as if in a state of becoming rather than completion - unless it is commercial.

german:

Konzeptionell orientiert sich meine künstlerische Praxis an der Vorstellung, dass Schöpfung aus dem Inneren entsteht. Ich betrachte das Bewusstsein als eine Art unsichtbare Leinwand, auf der Formen entstehen und sich wieder auflösen. Meine Arbeit versucht, diesem Prozess einen visuellen Ausdruck zu verleihen – wobei die Bilder eher den Eindruck erwecken, als befänden sie sich im Entstehen und nicht im vollendeten Zustand – es sei denn, es handelt sich um kommerzielle Arbeiten.

Ultimately, I aim to create works that embody transformation itself—images that feel alive, shifting, and open, inviting the viewer into a space between the seen and the unseen.It’s another version of an old gatekeeping argument about 'purity', authenticity, and technical mastery to state that artworks that involve writing computer code qualify as “digital art” while artworks created using Photoshop or other media applications do not.''_ Dr. Lev Manovich / Computational Culture.One version of my new forms is with CAS  BCS Moorgate, London as Artist: Dlela Lombard, featured with Tree of Life (2023).

I collaborated with Henry Boxer Gallery, worked in book cover art via a photo library for several years and submitted works to wise.art platform as a portfolio since 2023, and just in 2025 with focus on philantrophy for various causes, not before. Philantrophy seems to be an ideal practise for this : 'There is a constant renewal of creative being only when the ‘me’ and the ‘mine’ are absent. Only in the constant ending of the ‘me’ is there renewal. Creativity cannot be invited; it has to come to you.' _Jiddu Krishnamurti on Creativity - He viewed true art, skill, and expression not as technical mastery or self-expression, but as action arising from a state of choiceless awareness, completely free from the ego ("me"). Art is the total absence of the ego-driven "me". So, the important thing is to discover what it is to be creative. Creativity can be discovered and understood, the truth of it seen, only when I understand the whole total process of myself. As long as there is a projection of the mind, whether at the verbal or any other level, there cannot be a creative state. When every movement of thought is understood and comes to an end, then only is there creativeness. The key is to understand what creativity actually is. It’s not something abstract or mystical—it can be discovered and clearly seen when I understand the full process of my own mind. As long as the mind is projecting—through words or any other form—there is no true creative state. Creativity emerges only when every movement of thought is fully understood and naturally comes to rest In that sense, using prompts (thought) with AI generation can be a useful tool for observing how thought operates. And regardless of how advanced AI becomes, I remain rooted in my own direct experience.I really love what I am doing or not doing.

“The ideal is unnatural naturalness, or natural unnaturalness. I mean it is a combination of both. I mean here is natural instinct and here is control. You are to combine the two in harmony. Not if you have one to the extreme, you'll be very unscientific. If you have another to the extreme, you become, all of a sudden, a mechanical man No longer a human being. It is a successful combination of both. That way it is a process of continuing growth. Be water, my friend.” ― Bruce Lee , Bruce Lee: Artist of Life
