About me
Denica Veselinova (Bulgaria, 1983)
Is a visual artist based in Madrid. Her practice combines academic research and artistic creation, with a focus on artificial intelligence and its cultural and aesthetic implications. She has presented her work in venues such as Palacio Los Serrano (Ávila), Museo Francisco Sobrino (Guadalajara), LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial (Gijón), CentroCentro (Madrid), and Set Espai d’Art (Valencia), as well as in international festivals held in Spain, Italy, Greece, Ukraine, and Taiwan.
She currently teaches at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Complutense University of Madrid, where she is also pursuing a doctoral thesis on art and artificial intelligence.
Statement
My work explores the relationship between memory, identity, and language in a time permeated by technology. Through drawing, video, and artificial intelligence, I investigate how images can become spaces of transition between the human and the digital, between the intimate and the collective.
I conceive artistic practice as a space of hybridity, where traditional materials coexist with algorithmic processes, and the manual gesture converses with the logic of code. From this friction emerge new visual narratives that reflect on communication, belonging, and displacement—on the often-failed attempts to understand one another through words or images.
Error, chance, and unpredictability are essential elements of my process, not as failures but as fertile grounds where the poetic and the critical arise. In my projects, the uncontrolled reveals both the fragility and the transformative power of language.
My research and teaching accompany this inquiry, positioning artistic practice in dialogue with contemporary debates on artificial intelligence, creativity, and the future of images.
