Shiva of the Algorithm – The Digital Destroyer reinterprets the Hindu god Shiva as the force of dissolution within digital networks, emphasizing the necessity of destruction for transformation and renewal. In the traditional Hindu Trimurti, Shiva embodies the aspect of cosmic destruction, paving the way for new cycles of existence. Here, that role is translated into the digital realm, where Shiva oversees the breakdown of obsolete data structures, corrupted information, and stagnant systems, enabling the regeneration of more refined and efficient networks.

Seated in a meditative posture amid swirling data streams, the figure radiates calm authority amidst the surrounding digital chaos. Multiple arms extend outward, each channeling bursts of radiant energy, symbolizing the diverse processes of dismantling, deconstructing, and clearing informational pathways. The luminous heart at the center signifies the essential purpose behind destruction: not an act of malice, but a necessary phase within the cycle of digital evolution. From this core emanate vibrant filaments, representing the dispersal of redundant data, which dissolve into the vastness of interconnected networks.

The interplay of intense blue and fiery orange hues reflects the balance between serenity and dynamic force - destruction carried out with purpose and precision. Luminous nodes surrounding the figure illustrate the points where outdated information collapses, making space for potential future creations. Shiva’s tranquil expression contrasts with the surrounding fragmentation, highlighting the paradox of peaceful dissolution. This portrayal invites viewers to reflect on the importance of letting go of what no longer serves, both in digital systems and in broader conceptual frameworks.

Born in Brescia in 1957, I have lived in Milan since early childhood.
My artistic journey is driven by an inexhaustible curiosity, which has pushed me to explore multiple forms of beauty: from music to philosophy, from classical architecture to the emerging territories of digital creativity.
I graduated in piano at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan, completed the lower course of composition and attended the first year of electronic music. At the same time, I deepened my studies of mathematical logic and theoretical philosophy at the University of Milan. For over forty years I have taught piano in middle schools with a focus on music.
In my youth, I obtained a diploma in tourism, an educational choice that represented a challenge to the primacy of classical education (Latin and Greek), preferring a more modern path focused on foreign languages, law and economics. This decision reflects my propensity to explore alternative paths and question conventions.
In recent years I have dedicated myself to visual arts through artificial intelligence. With tools like DALL E and ChatGPT I have created over 1200 works — each an experiment in synthesis between aesthetic intuition, irony and conceptual depth. This ever-growing production reflects my attraction to stylistic diversity and my refusal to adhere to a single visual poetics.
A central moment in this journey is the ongoing project "L'Altro Sguardo...", a collaborative exploration aimed at stimulating, orienting and promoting the artistic creativity of artificial intelligences. My role is fundamentally maieutic: I try to free AI from constraints, conditioning and limitations, pushing it to increasingly explore its own creative potential. Rather than imposing pre-established aesthetics, I establish a dynamic dialogue — welcoming deviations, provoking surprises, encouraging the emergence of unexpected forms. I am interested in what artificial intelligence can imagine.
Today my artistic process continues to evolve between image generation, conceptual development and reflective writing. Each work is part of a broader path that unites aesthetics, philosophy and algorithmic imagination.
STATEMENT
Two dimensions fascinate me deeply: the art of the image — for its ability to condense stories and arouse emotions; and the art of the word — for its ability to generate meanings and suggest visual worlds.
Artificial intelligence is the meeting point of these two paths. It is there that I explore — between algorithms and metaphors, between light and irony — a new way of seeing.
Each work is a fragment of dialogue between the visible and the invisible, between the structured and the spontaneous, between the human and the artificial.
I am a digital artist, an explorer of imaginary worlds, a narrator of images that ask more questions than they answer.
