Denica Veselinova is a visual artist, researcher, and university lecturer based in Madrid. Her practice lies at the intersection of artistic creation, critical thought, and emerging technologies, with a particular focus on artificial intelligence, its cultural implications, its biases, and its capacity to transform contemporary visual languages. Her work engages with questions of authorship, algorithmic mediation, language, image, and the construction of imaginaries within a context increasingly shaped by technical systems in aesthetic experience.
Her practice combines theoretical research with visual and audiovisual experimentation, bringing together processes that involve still images, video, immersive environments, and AI-based tools. From a critical and poetic perspective, she explores the tensions between control and chance, human decision-making and automation, as well as the expressive possibilities that emerge from the dialogue between artistic sensibility and computational systems.
She has developed an exhibition trajectory linked to contemporary art, audiovisual practices, and technological experimentation, participating in exhibitions, festivals, and curated programs in Spain and internationally, including Italy, Greece, Ukraine, and Taiwan. Her work has received awards, selections, and production residencies such as Circuitos de Artes Plásticas of the Community of Madrid, an artistic residency at LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial, and the Videoartista + Prometedor award at MADATAC. Among her most recent recognitions is the award received by Luminia in the category “Identidades en tránsito” at the 2nd International Video Creation Competition Posthumanamente hablando / iA+.
She combines her artistic practice with teaching at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid, where she teaches courses related to drawing, virtual reality, and technologies applied to artistic creation. She is also pursuing a PhD focused on the role of artificial intelligence in the generation of new art forms, a line of research that informs a significant part of her work. In addition, she is part of the audiovisual production company La Peonza Digital, where she collaborates on visual and audiovisual projects.
