      Tecnica:  Digital artwork created in Microsoft Excel Dimensione: 60 x 40 cm Anno: 2025 Descrizione: Artificial Friends (AF) is a digital work created in Microsoft Excel. The piece shows two doll-like figures standing together in an open space, surrounded by loose marks, grids, and fragments of color. While making the work, I was thinking about artificial companionship and the idea of human-like dolls or AI figures made to become friends with people. At the same time, the image can also be read as two human figures who appear social, decorative, and close to one another, but remain emotionally separate. The figures are playful but slightly uneasy. Their clothing is built partly from visible grid patterns, connecting the image back to the spreadsheet itself. I was interested in the difficulty of friendship — whether between humans, or between humans and artificial beings — and the strange gap between being near someone and truly knowing them. The work uses Excel as a drawing space rather than a spreadsheet, pushing a rigid digital tool into something more personal, awkward, and expressive.

      Tecnica:  Digital artwork created in Microsoft Excel Dimensione: 50 x 50cm Anno: 2025 Descrizione: Face Study_purple is a digital work created in Microsoft Excel. The piece uses a limited palette of purples and yellows to build a face that feels both playful and slightly uneasy. The image is simple at first glance, but the expression is hard to pin down. The figure seems calm, awkward, watchful, and vulnerable at the same time. I was interested in making a face that did not feel polished or idealized, but had its own strange presence. The work uses Excel as a drawing space rather than a spreadsheet. The rigid structure of the software is pushed into something more immediate and human, with rough lines, flat color, and visible imperfections left in the image.

    Untitled 1_Lofoten Series is a digital work created in Microsoft Excel, made after traveling through the Lofoten Islands in northern Norway. It is not a literal landscape, but it carries some of the feeling of that place — sharp light, rough weather, water, rock, and sudden shifts in color. The image is built from blocks of color, drawn lines, and layered shapes. A central green form sits between landscape, animal, eye, and memory — something seen quickly, or half-recognized after the fact. The surrounding marks feel both structural and unstable, like a view being assembled and interrupted at the same time. I was interested in making something that felt partly natural, partly mechanical, and partly imagined. The work uses Excel as a drawing space rather than a spreadsheet, pushing a rigid digital tool into something more physical, imperfect, and intuitive.
