My own photo of the tabernacle from the demolished St. Joseph’s Church in Tegelen inspired me for the images that you can view in this blog post.

Welcome to ‘Fiction and Pharaoh’ where antiquity and modern technology enter into a surprising dialogue. Using AI, I designed a virtual treasure trove full of fictional art treasures from the empire of the Egyptian pharaohs.

Bridge between past and present

What if we could redesign Cleopatra’s jewelry with the precision of a 3D printer? Or create a cartouche that translates your name into hieroglyphs, but with a modern twist?

These questions have produced a series of images that are both fascinating and impressive. They form a bridge between what once was and what could be.

Interplay between fact and fiction

The beauty of this series is not only the visual splendor, but also the interplay between fact and fiction. Here the boundaries of history are stretched, not to distort the truth, but to explore it in a new light.

The AI art generator has revived ancient symbols and objects from a modern perspective, as if plucked from a parallel universe where pharaohs used smartphones.

Artwork or not?

In this series, each copy is more than a work of art (art with a small ‘k’). Or is it perhaps a window into a world that is at once familiar and strange.

In any case, it is an invitation to explore the possibilities of technology and history together. So put on your linen robes (virtually, at least) and stroll below through this modern treasure trove where old and new come together in an extraordinary way.
