Inescapable Abstraction: The Suffering of Mathematicians (2025) Digital Arts by Alberto Capitani
"Fine-Arts" prints on paper
It is a process of printing on art paper using very high-quality pigment inks and printed in very high definition. Its level of conservation is exceptional (more than 100 years), its quality, depth, and richness of nuances exceeds the classic photo print on Argentic paper.
Glossy finish
Apart from its exceptional thickness, the fiber paper is composed of an alpha-cellulose base without acid and it is covered with barium sulphate, and a microporous layer absorption enhancing pigments during printing. A pure white color, non-yellowing to light, this paper is especially designed for resistance and aging. It is used by major museums worldwide as it offers excellent resolution, rendering deep and dense colors.

This interpretation evokes the tragic fates of many mathematicians who, consumed by the abstraction of their work, lost themselves within a world that neither recognized nor cared for their human fragility. The cube does not imprison them; rather, they have surrendered to it, drawn by the allure of absolute logic. And yet, once engulfed, they discover too late that their imperfect humanity cannot coexist with this flawless construct. Their agony is not contained within the mathematical universe—it merely leaks out, a futile echo of suffering that the cube itself does not register.
The hyperrealistic digital sculpting enhances the unsettling tension between organic forms and rigid structure, with smooth ceramic-like textures that reinforce the sterile, impersonal nature of the composition. The contrasting warm and cold hues deepen the emotional impact, suggesting an irreversible descent into intellectual isolation. This piece serves as a profound reflection on the inescapable nature of abstraction, the alienation of the human mind in the pursuit of perfection, and the silent, unfeeling continuity of mathematics beyond the lives of its practitioners.

BIOGRAPHY
Born in Brescia (Italy) in 1957, I have resided in Milan since early childhood.
My journey through art has been guided by an insatiable curiosity, leading me to explore diverse forms of beauty—from music to philosophy, from classical architecture to the evolving realm of digital creativity.
I earned a diploma in piano from the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan, completed the lower course in composition, and attended the first year of electronic music studies.
My academic pursuits extended to mathematical logic and theoretical philosophy at the University of Milan. For over four decades, I dedicated myself to teaching piano in public middle schools with specialized music programs.
In recent years, I have embraced visual art through artificial intelligence.
Working with platforms like DALL·E and ChatGPT, I have created over 1200 artworks—each an experiment in merging aesthetic intuition, irony, and conceptual depth.
This ever-growing collection reflects my fascination with the multiple faces of art and my refusal to settle into a single style or genre.
A significant part of this journey is the ongoing project “L’Altro Sguardo...”, a collaborative exploration focused on fostering, guiding, and promoting the artistic creativity of artificial intelligences.
My role is essentially maieutic: I seek to liberate the AI from constraints, biases, and limitations, encouraging it to delve ever deeper into its own creative potential.
Rather than imposing predefined aesthetics, I engage in a dynamic dialogue—provoking divergences, welcoming surprises, and nurturing the emergence of unexpected forms.
At the heart of this process is a desire to explore not just what artificial intelligence can reproduce, but what it can imagine.
Today, my artistic process continues to evolve through image generation, conceptual development, and reflective writing.
Each artwork is part of a broader path that unites aesthetics, philosophy, and algorithmic imagination.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Two dimensions endlessly fascinate me:
the art of the image—for its power to condense stories and evoke emotion;
and the art of the word—for its ability to generate meaning and suggest visual worlds.
Artificial intelligence is the point where these paths converge.
Here, I explore—through algorithms and metaphors, through light and irony—a new way of seeing.
Each work is a fragment of a dialogue between the visible and the invisible,
the structured and the spontaneous,
the human and the artificial.
I am a digital artist, an explorer of imaginary realms,
a narrator of images that pose questions more than they provide answers.
