About Patrick (artist)

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.

I switched to AI assistance as a creative tool. Is it art? I've no idea. An artist friend told me what matters is the intent when making a picture. Sometimes, 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 they like it.
