Anatomy of Artificial Intelligence, got inspired by Ancient Greek  statues, as a living being which expands in all aspects of modern life. All the means of applied digital knowledge as a study of neuroscience and cognitive behavior. From Homo Sapiens to Homo Ludens [the man who plays, Latin] and Game Design, to Homo Faber [the man who creates, Latin] and Invention through Innovation.  A modern civilization of cross cultural references, which combines human studies, business, politics and art.

In my life and art always get inspired by music cause as the philosopher Roger Scruton. Once said ‘ Art and music shine a light of meaning on ordinary life, and through them we are able to confront the things that trouble us and to find consolation and peace in their presence.’ Also my favorite music has played and still playing an important role as an <associate> to my creations, mindset and artistic approach & expression.
