Argentinian artist Manuel Aja Espil, based in Madrid, started an artistic exploration in August 2022, emphasizing in the question, is painting essentially human? His project, "Memorias de Timothy Clarke" (Memories of Timothy Clarke), seamlessly blends 17th-century classical painting with 20th-century pop culture using artificial intelligence as a source of inspiration. Aja Espil documents his process, exploring painting's relevance in our present times. Aja Espil's painting process focuses on interpreting classical genres in a painterly mark rooted in Río de la Plata, where rapid brushstrokes and a combination of colorful and earth palettes lead our way through a intricately woven narrative that defines his work.
