About Patrick (artist)
{ life average }
I once was an architect (on the advice of my mother).
From about 2015 to 2020 I painted about 25 oil paintings. They took ages to paint and I had only one of each. These days, it doesn't make sense. It didn't to me anyway, although I think making manual images can be good for people, especially in a group doing things together. I'm just not a group person.
Is. It. Art.
I'm now using AI assistance as a creative tool because it knows everything about art. Does it make art? I've no idea. An artist friend told me what matters is the intent when making a picture – and it's true. No intent, no art. Sometimes though, you only see what the intent was when you finished it.
I suppose what a picture actually expresses is up to the viewer. If they understand the intent, all the better. Mostly though, it's whether I like it.
My mother was the Belgian / British artist Françoise Taylor.
