About
Carole Gendron
NeoBreizh Studio Captain Data-Artist
For over two decades, each stage of my international journey from Mexico to Amsterdam, via Madrid and Paris, has been an exploration of new techniques (charcoal, pastel, painting, collage, graffiti) and new media (digital and Artificial Intelligence), allowing me to continue innovating in my art journey to portray emotions.
​
My work has always aimed to merge tradition with modernity, tangible with digital, capturing the essence of each era and place while laying the groundwork for new artistic discoveries.
Once upon a time in France
'Horse' was my first photograph, taken when I was around 10 years old.
During a school trip to the Brittany countryside, we used analog cameras, with film rolls, doing it the old-fashioned way. In the field, a horse proudly posed for me, capturing a perfect moment.
Later, we developed our photos in a dark room, under the glow of a red light, surrounded by chemicals, negatives, and photographic paper.
That day, I discovered my passion for art, my camera became my shadow, and creativity, my fuel.

After a childhood exploring creativity, my true artistic journey began when I left France for Mexico, a country where vibrant cultural life intertwines with a rich artistic tradition. There, I was captivated by charcoal, a simple yet powerful material that reveals deep emotions through shades of black and white. This period was crucial in developing my ability to capture the raw essence of my subjects, providing them with emotional authenticity.

Next, my creative quest took me to Madrid, where the city's vivid colors influenced my shift to pastels. This medium, rich in possibilities, allowed me to experiment with a broader palette, exploring how colors can evoke feelings and tell stories. This phase was a period of expansion, during which each artwork began to pulse with a new dimension of life.

​The year 2009 marked a turning point with my immersion into street art. Inspired by my street artist friends, Guiom and Titi, I swapped my camera for spray paint cans. This art form offered me total freedom of expression, where broad and dynamic gestures replaced the paintbrush, infusing palpable energy into the creations.

​After Madrid, Paris welcomed me with its vibrant cultural life, enriching my understanding of European art. There, I explored collage and painting techniques, combining textures to create multidimensional works. This period allowed me to manipulate materials and volume, giving substance to artistic expressions that play with the viewer's perception.

​My journey then took me to Amsterdam, where I sought to physically connect with creation by working with clay. This direct contact with the material was enlightening, allowing me to literally sculpt emotions and stories. Clay, reactive and malleable, became my medium of choice for exploring new ways to share the contours of human emotions.

Finally, the advent of digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI), in which I am a profesional, has opened a new era for my art. Using AI and coding as creative tools, I began using Generative Artificial Intelligence to create works that marry technology and artistic expression.
This phase of my journey is dedicated to exploring how AI can not only assist the creative process but also push it beyond traditional boundaries, creating a novel playground (HumAIn_Art) for both the artist and the technologist.​

Artist Statement
By using artificial intelligence in a creative and responsible way, my goal is to 'humanize' technology to make it accessible to everyone.
​
I transform cold data into captivating experiences, bringing to light the collective intelligence embedded in our data.
​
My artistic expression has spanned various mediums such as photography, painting, and sculpture to convey emotions. I have participated in group exhibitions in Mexico, Madrid, and Amsterdam.
​
As a early adopter, when technology was still in its early stages, I explored Generative Art by integrating Artificial Intelligence into the creative process.
​
Through the creation of NeoBreizh Studio, I aim to go beyond a simple creative space for Artificial Intelligence, offering a conscious yet optimistic vision where tradition and technology coexist in harmony, serving people.
