Introduction

I’m a London-based synthographer working exclusively with artificial intelligence. This website is my online portfolio—a virtual gallery showcasing my work with AI across a series of themed projects. This is not a curriculum vitae. Not an autobiography. It is a collaboration between man and machine. I’m not here to imitate the past or apologise for the future. I’m here to engage with the present. People once said photography wasn’t art, but time has a way of altering perception. From photorealistic hallucinations to sculptural illusions, nothing you see is accidental. Every image is precise, intentional, and authored. My work is as real as Magritte’s pipe, as logical as Duchamp’s urinal. All characters displayed on this website are entirely fictional. You can get in touch with me at: davidname.london@gmail.com

Arca

Anthos

Anthos

Fictional wooden and metal cabinets—constructed through AI, not carpentry. From solitary forms to impossible towers, they evolve into sculptural assemblages. Rusted hinges, latches, and wood grain suggest realism, yet nothing here is real. These are fabrications designed to seduce the eye and subvert belief.

Anthos

Anthos

Anthos

Digitally constructed floral compositions inspired by Dutch still-life painting and Victorian pattern design. Hyperreal yet immaterial, each image is a floral hallucination: lush, baroque, and sensual. Petals never fade, compositions never wilt, and floral patterns extend into infinity. These flowers are illusions—built entirely from language and code.

Lignis

Anthos

Lignis

Sculpted wooden flowers that exist only as illusion. Neither wood nor flower, these hyperreal forms are crafted entirely with AI—never carved, never painted, never touched. The images invite the viewer to believe in what cannot be held: digital objects that feel physical, poised, and precise. Every surface suggests weight, texture, and craftsmanship.

Vitris

Anthos

Lignis

Inspired by Murano exuberance and Lalique restraint, these floral sculptures shimmer with the appearance of glass. They fuse decorative tradition with digital invention. Neither flower nor glass, each form is crafted entirely with artificial intelligence. Gleaming, translucent, smooth, and crystalline. The mind believes what the eye can see.

Gymnos

Nemoris

Gymnos

Idealised male physiques inspired by ancient Greek gymnasium culture. These figures are sculpted not by hand, but by language—dreamed into being, not photographed. Competition, rivalry, and erotic tension converge in images that celebrate the body as the product of discipline and exercise, charged with homoerotic intent.

Forma

Nemoris

Gymnos

Here, AI becomes a kind of kiln—a crucible where words are fired into form. Drawing on Shino and Raku traditions, these ceramic objects appear glazed, crackled, and poised between function and abstraction. Illusory yet tactile, Forma explores the boundary between usefulness and beauty, material and simulation, belief and perception.

Nemoris

Nemoris

Nemoris

Nature reimagined through an artist’s eyes. These images shift from observation to expressive abstraction—brushstrokes without brushes, paintings without paint. Colour and texture record sensation rather than reality. Created entirely with AI, Nemoris explores how nature might be translated into image—through words, gesture, and technology.

Structa

Nemoris

Nemoris

Suspended sculptural forms made of simulated fabric, metal, and discarded plastic—crafted entirely with AI. These assemblages feel physical: draped, buckled, and twisted into dynamic tension. Structa examines the textures of consumption and material excess, conjuring an architecture of detritus that reveals the strange beauty of discarded things.

Thalis

Thalis

Thalis

Minimalist tulip studies inspired by Robert Mapplethorpe—stark, sensual, exacting. Where Anthos revels in floral abundance, Thalis embraces restraint: one flower, one gesture, rendered through AI with photographic precision. These images are quiet provocations—meditations on beauty, simplicity, and the tension between light and shadow.

CMYK

Thalis

Thalis

This floral series expands traditional cyanotype into a layered, digital spectrum. Created entirely with AI, some images explore CMYK halftones, colour floods, and offset textures, while others remain anchored in deep Prussian Blue. The work transforms botanical motifs into compositions that blur the line between print history and synthetic invention.

Kalos

Thalis

Kalos

Digital portraits where the dirty workwear of manual labourers is fetishised through the lens of queer desire. These working-class heroes—gritty, tired, and masculine—were all created with AI. The images explore the tension between hardness and vulnerability, exposure and protection, and the slow, unspoken torture of wanting someone you can’t have.

Incis

Thalis

Kalos

This series of synthographs begins with a cut—into linoleum or wood. Stylised flowers and the male body emerge from these virtual surfaces, carved in digital relief. Inspired by traditional Linocut and Woodcut printmaking, but created entirely with language, these images explore how prompt and pressure can echo the mark of the hand.

Albion

Kinnara

Kinnara

Photorealistic views of the quintessential English countryside, created through precision prompt engineering. Where Nemoris embraces painterly abstraction, Albion observes with quiet clarity. These are not photographs. They are synthographic images which reveal nature as she is—raw, honest, unsentimental, and alive with seasonal atmosphere.

Kinnara

Kinnara

Kinnara

Portraits of feral, off-grid boys living the wild life on the margins of society. They sleep in makeshift shelters, craft with stolen or salvaged materials, and eat what the forest gives. These images invoke the spirit of anarchy and rebellion—where ritual, survival, and sensuality shape a new kind of belonging. Oh, and they love their feathered friends.

Stylus

Kinnara

Stylus

Etched into black ink against off-white ground, these images recall the precision of etching and engraving. Male bodies and floral motifs alternate—rigid, poised, and controlled. AI hallucinations become part of the medium’s charm. Not pastiche or reproduction, but simulation. A modern take on classical ideals, made with the hand that doesn't exist.

Pull

Kinnara

Stylus

Bold, colourful portraits and male figure studies, rendered through simulated screenprint—layered, luminous, and deliberately flawed. Misregistration, halftone grain, and optical noise reveal the process as much as the subject. Each image is caught between sensual presence and mechanical failure. Beauty, here, is manufactured.

Proxy

Oblecta

Oblecta

Identity is a product of post-production. Reality is no longer happening to us—it’s being presented to us. We think we’re reading, but we’re being fed. What happens when we trust a machine to care for us? The illusion isn’t that the world is fake—it’s that the fake is now more believable than the real. We no longer crave connection—we crave attention, and likes.

Oblecta

Oblecta

Oblecta

Fictional sculptural objects—imagined, not made. These forms do not exist in three dimensions, but they appear to. Created with artificial intelligence, language, and belief, Oblecta explores a post-material condition. They cannot be touched. They can only be seen, imagined, accepted or dismissed. Ce n’est pas une sculpture. C'est autre chose.

Nullus

Oblecta

Nullus

Eighteen images conjured from highly speculative prompts—each one a fragment, a rupture, a trace of something ungraspable. Nullus—none, no one, not any—explores the outer edge of artificial intelligence not as a tool, but as a mirror: a space where language breaks, meaning dissolves, and the image begins to dream of itself.

Litho

Oblecta

Nullus

Synthetic images that remember the feel of lithography. Male figures, tulips, tusche wash, and waxy crayon marks dissolve into textured illusion. Some forms are faint, others bold—but all are imagined. These are not lithographs, but synthographs: artificial impressions that simulate presence through the surface logic of stone.
