I’m not sure if you’ve ever been to the Venice Biennale — I’ve been several times. I usually steer clear of the Giardini pavilions and stick to the part housed in the old Arsenale, where the Republic of Venice once built its galleons. There, the bare warehouse walls make an unbeatable stage for the most outlandish bits of “art” and contemporary happenings.
With that kind of setting in mind, I took on Midjourney: it was tough, but by tweaking my prompts little by little I finally got a result I think is excellent, a bit Michelangelesque but timeless.

5 high-resolution images (3000×3000 pixels) in zip package of 31.29 MB to download
A curated set of portraits exploring quiet, introspective states through a soft double-exposure visual language.
The subjects — young men and women — are presented without theatrical emphasis, in moments of inward attention rather than outward expression.
About the visual set
The portraits avoid direct gaze. Faces appear in profile or with closed eyes, suggesting reflection, suspension, or emotional distance.
The double-exposure technique introduces layered environments — trees, diffuse greenery, or water-like forms — merging inner perception with external imagery.
Some compositions lean toward calm, others toward subtle unease.
Why this set exists
Portrait imagery often prioritizes expression, identity, and immediate readability.
This set moves in the opposite direction, focusing on states that are less defined — thought, memory, daydream, and the indistinct boundary between clarity and ambiguity.
Visual approach
The use of soft color and overlapping imagery reduces contrast and sharpness, allowing transitions between figure and environment to remain fluid.
The result is not narrative in a strict sense, but suggestive.
Who this set is for
Ideal for:
– Editorial and cultural content
– Book covers and visual essays
– Projects exploring identity and perception
– Contemporary illustration and moodboards
– Creative and reflective visual storytelling
Contemporary relevance
In a visual culture centered on visibility and self-presentation, these portraits turn attention inward, emphasizing perception over display.
Suspended between clarity and dream.
Ethics & usage clarity

14 AI-assisted drawings · Refined for spatial coherence and usability
A curated set of 8 flat ground plans and 6 house cross-sections developed through AI generation and carefully refined through practical design experience.
The collection combines visual clarity with functional adjustment, transforming suggestive layouts into coherent living spaces.
About the visual set
The images include floor plans and sectional views of houses set in natural surroundings, with attention to composition, light, and spatial organization.
While visually compelling, the original AI-generated structures required significant correction to meet basic architectural logic and everyday usability.
Why this set exists
Current AI systems can produce convincing architectural images, but often lack an understanding of how spaces are actually used.
This set was created to bridge that gap — combining generative imagery with real-world knowledge of layout design, circulation, and functional requirements.
Each plan has been reviewed and reworked to ensure spatial consistency, including the presence of essential functions and a plausible relationship between rooms.
The result is not purely generated imagery, but a hybrid between AI output and applied design thinking.
Visual approach
The compositions retain the clarity and appeal of architectural drawings while introducing a level of coherence that allows them to be meaningfully interpreted.
Who this set is for
Ideal for:
– Architectural and design concepts
– Editorial and visual storytelling
– Real estate presentation mockups
– Educational material
– Creative projects involving spatial design
Contemporary relevance
As AI-generated imagery becomes more widespread, the distinction between visual plausibility and functional reality becomes increasingly important.
This set highlights the value of combining generative tools with human expertise.
Ethics & usage clarity

16 AI-generated images · Seasonal landscapes and natural textures
The set combines atmospheric scenes with versatile compositions suitable for graphic applications.
A curated set of autumn images centered on the deep reds and warm tones of falling leaves.
The collection moves between quiet tree-lined paths and close natural details, capturing the stillness and visual richness of the season.
About the visual set
One part of the set presents avenues bordered by trees in full autumn color, with fallen leaves forming dense carpets underfoot, often softened by distant fog and occasional benches.
The second part focuses on close-up compositions: branches and clusters of red leaves illuminated by natural light, with softly blurred backgrounds offering copy space and are suitable for both detailed viewing and graphic use.
Why this set exists
Autumn imagery is widely available, yet often repetitive or overly stylized.
This set was created to preserve the natural intensity of the season — allowing color, light, and atmosphere to remain the primary elements.
Visual approach
The compositions balance wider landscape views with intimate details, creating a coherent visual rhythm between space and texture.
Particular attention is given to light and tonal variation, enhancing depth without artificial exaggeration.
Who this set is for
Ideal for:
– Editorial and seasonal content
– Website headers and banners
– Book covers and publishing design
– Marketing visuals with a natural tone
– Interior and decorative use
– Projects requiring calm, atmospheric imagery
Contemporary relevance
In a visual environment often dominated by saturation and speed, seasonal imagery offers a slower, more grounded visual language.
Autumn, in particular, combines intensity and quietness.
A season reduced to its essentials — color, light, and silence.

16 AI-generated painted illustrations · A quiet nocturnal reading space
A curated visual set imagining a bookshop-café open through the night — a place where reading, silence, and soft human presence coexist.
Origin of the idea
I’ve ever been and still am fascinated by books – don’t know how many thousands I have at home – thus the idea seems to me fabolous: a bookshop-café open all night with the option to sit quiet and read a book (rented or bought), and at the first morning light, with a warm latte and a book in your hand, to go back to your place and sleep the day.
The atmosphere draws loosely from literary and real references – from Gianrico Carofiglio’s Osteria to the Library Bar in Copenhagen.
Then came my imagination: the quiet pedestrian streets of an Italian downtown, little light around, most of it coming from a cheerful bookshop open with tables and seats outside or inside, with people sitting there, reading comfortably and sipping a coffee.
Every so often at the same table sit two people, occasionally they talk together but usually they are as good as alone, each one completely absorbed in their reading.
Sometimes under a vaulted ceiling of one of these coffee-bookshops someone sits at the piano in a corner and plays a soft tune.
The result is not a literal place, but a consistent atmosphere.
If you wish these pictures can be yours 🙂
Why this set exists
Spaces dedicated to reading are often imagined as formal, institutional, or silent in a rigid sense.
This set explores an alternative: a more spontaeous, natural environment where reading is part of everyday’s life — informal, obvious, and quietly shared.
Visual treatment
The images are presented as 16 painterly drawings, carefully selected, upscaled, and post-processed to enhance depth, warmth, and visual coherence and all the other hues a machine cannot feel (yet?)
The primary goal is not realism but the pleasure of sharing a particular mood.
Who this set is for
Ideal for:
– Editorial and literary projects
– Book covers and publishing design
– Cultural blogs and writing communities
– Interior and concept design
– Moodboards and visual storytelling
– Anyone drawn to spaces of reading and quiet presence
Contemporary relevance
In a time of constant distraction, the idea of a place dedicated to uninterrupted reading — open, welcoming, and unhurried — becomes quietly radical.
A space that may not exist — yet feels immediately familiar to those who love books.
Ethics & usage clarity
All images are ethically generated and do not reference copyrighted characters, living artists, brands, or recognizable individuals.

Note
If you feel like writing a piece of poetry you’ll probably use a word processor, if only because today stylus, nibs and ink aren’t all that easy to find. And no one will dream of claiming that the real poet is the word processor you typed on and not you.
Things change if you use a sophisticated AI as a writing tool, but not by much: there’s still something essential, let’s call it ‘the human touch’, that you must provide yourself lest the outcome sound somewhat dull, insipid – even though there’s always the simpleton who takes the bite and congratulates, but that’s another story 😉
Same goes if you use a sophisticated graphic AI to give body to a dream you found in your mind, that otherwise would take you days or months to draw or paint with your own hands: if you want it to evoke the feelings that inspired you, the human touch must come from you.
Hard – if ever possible – to tell what this mysterious human touch really is: it’s something that you feel, not that you understand. Something related to the rustle of old pages under your fingers, to the smell of an ancient leather binding, to a gentle breeze ruffling your hair, to the taste of an early coffee, to the faint memory of a happy moment lost in the past… and this is as far as I go.
Yes GPT, if you’re reading this page then you’ll probably be able to expatiate better on the subject and even to convince many of your keyboard-pals that you really know what you’re talking about. But it will take you much longer to persuade me 🙂
