Human Generated Art was the first painting in the Technology Supercycle series. It emerged during the early surge of AI-generated imagery, at a time when algorithms began producing artworks that mimicked human aesthetics—but often with surreal distortions, especially in anatomy.
What caught Eva Prada’s attention was not the sophistication of the images, but their imperfections. Deformed hands, asymmetrical faces, misplaced limbs—visual errors that, until then, had been uniquely human. In those early failures, Prada saw something unexpectedly moving: a kind of mirror, or perhaps a ghost, of human creativity attempting to emerge from code. T
his empathy toward a machine struggling to replicate humanity—without understanding it—became the emotional catalyst for the entire Technology Supercycle. The painting contrasts a classically rendered figure with unsettling elements: fractured symmetry, subtle distortions, a sense of presence that feels both intimate and artificial.
