About
Dlela Lombard – visionary intuitive self-taught photo artist and tao alchemist discovering and evolving generative photo-art and digital painting since 2000. With a scientific approach to her craft as non conformist photo editing in photoshop without AI and before awareness of this tool she transforms formless photo pixels (the green natural) into imaginative new forms, in which color and form have their own soul and creating is as if to a blank canvas. Rooted in her background of black and white analogue photography, Lombard always sensed the camera lens as an extension of the spiritual eye, allowing her to make the invisible visible.In 2023, she further embraced surrealism through text automatism and AI picture generation, leading to new transformation that reflect her vision and style; especially with AI, digital paintings have their own brush strokes to create the form and the pictorial style which I am always refining; I created digitally while I was suffering under noise pollution and since I was in London in 1997 I began using Ohropax to protect myself, remain connected to nature and 'in a flow state' for many years transformed environmental pollution into digital art. As digital creation is a process working this way to me is not tech knowledge based; intuition is a different kind of knowledge,it is manifesting through emotions and awareness and with AI picture generation was best to be expressed through spontaneous surrealist text automatism.

Discovering new shapes and forms in Photoshop based on manipulation of formless photo pixel content, a blurred outdoors; a non-compliant process by movement also via filters, an idea that popped up in my head like a light bulb not knowing anything about AI.I call them Ex Nihilo or also Kniff Art.I found that transforming some further with ai picture generator leads to some interesting surprises.Especially in the beginning phase of generating pieces with AI seeing was as if shooting with a camera motor drive; the association was immediate because of its fastness from one picture to the next;

Photo Library Arcangel 'Book Cover Art' scouting own models outdoors with focus on crime related themes by own art direction with focus on the collective.After I left the library I took the self financed material further into the final photo-editing as a free body of work and develop a feel for it, master the pixel and myself under changing circumstances.
