AI and Creativity:
The End or a New Beginning?
The End or a New Beginning?
Like many fellow artists I’d asked myself:
Is AI really taking over the role of an artist,
or can it be used as a tool to supercharge our creativity?

Delving into these questions was, and still is, a scary, yet exciting journey.
AI is a wonderful addition to my creative toolkit—it's hard to believe I ever worked without it.
I use AI-generated images to create new collages and, of course, animations.
Rather than replacing my creative input, AI redirects it in unexpected ways.
It allows me to be more playful, to experiment freely, and to welcome happy accidents as part of the process.
My voice as an artist remains clearly visible and just as strong as ever.
The following are some of my ai exploration works.

Project 1: Sofa Dunes
Sofa Dunes - Red
Sofa Dunes - Orange
Sofa Dunes - Pink
I don’t generate full collages with AI—instead, I create individual collage elements using AI and combine them to build surreal worlds, just as I would with non-AI imagery. The process remains hands-on and intuitive, allowing me to shape each scene with the same artistic intention and curiosity as always.

Pushing AI to its playful edge—reimagining patterns, shapes, and surprises in a more abstract way:
A creative dialogue between intuition and algorithm, surprise and design.

Project 3: Balls n' Roses
With this project, I let AI be the initial spark—an imaginative starting point. I combined AI with Illustrator, Photoshop, and After Effects to bring the concept to life as an animation, blending generative inspiration with hands-on design.

If you're wondering about the origins of "Maimai," it's a playful invention from my creative mind—
a fictional brand that encapsulates my ongoing adventures with AI. The name combines "My" and "AI," while also echoing the expression “my, my”— a reaction of surprise or wonder when encountering something unexpected.
