Gaudist finishes that Ariadna Giménez constantly publish A world at the same time fantastic and artisticsince it is based on the work of Antoni Gaudí, the famous Spanish architect who designed the Sagrada Familia and the Parc Güell of Barcelona. It is one of the icons of Catalan modernism, an artistic movement close to art nouveauwhich arose between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

So He turned to the artificial intelligence tool (AI) Midjourney That has grown a lot in recent months, especially on Instagram. «I was very interested to see how this tool could give life to my ideas, so I started experiencing with her and Gaudism was born.» Gaudí passionate, she also likes to cite in her publications Isamu Noguchi, an American sculptor fascinated by the caves.

Why did you choose to work on Gaudí?
Organic architecture has always been my favorite style, but Gaudí's work is even more than that; The entire fantastic universe that created invites us to dream and this is the element that I wanted to incorporate into my work. I think this element is even more relevant in a hyperconnected and noisy era: We need spaces that take us far and invite us to dream landscapes calm and serene.
How do you do it?
When I started experimenting with Midjourney I spent three very intense weeks testing different textual possibilities, because the text is the way we communicate with artificial intelligence. It's like a conversation, but Instead of obtaining a written answer, we get a visual response. Since I found my basic keywords in August, they are still the same. I just have to adjust the context to obtain different results with the same style.
