Exclusive Artist Interview w/ H Lorenzo

London-based @yiskid_ (Jesus) was born in Valladolid, Spain. His work focuses on a new hybrid reality, in which the digital world and real life intertwine and question each other; trying to explore the limits and the similarities between these two worlds, through technological errors. We asked Jesus a few questions to probe the stylistic perspective of his work, as well as guest edit a collection, linked below.

How does AI generated imagery influence your own perspective on your work /digitally rendered art?
Yes, I work with ai, but not so much with images generated there. It is a bit of a controversial subject, which many artists reject because of the ease in creating works, but it is something that I think is good to add to your work in one way or another.Is there an element of styling on your subjects occurring in your process? There is always some element. Working with a stylist is clear. And when it's only with a model, I try to give some guidelines and they will dress the best they think.There is a certain functional aspect to the attire in your visuals, subjects seem suspended amidst a mid-day commute. How does clothing, both in texture and shape work into your process? Many times I don't know what clothes I'm going to see in the session until we start, but through the color, the texture or the details of theclothes I choose the background, the type of angle or pose. If the clothes are black I try to have a light background.

"through the color, the texture or the details of the
clothes I choose the background, the type of angle or pose"

I have seen themes of surrealism and restlessness mentioned in regards to your work. Is humanity stuck, is this a simulation?
I don't believe it. I think this type of human thought is only due to the fact that we have a sufficiently powerful brain to imagine and believe. But what I am waiting to see is how far humanity will go by mixing with technology. Will we get to have a society like in cyberpunk?What’s your go-to daily commute fit (one for the fashion kids)
Layering and oversize hoodiesHow does the urban city textures as backdrop in your visuals play a role?
I always try to find spaces without character, architecturally clean that could be any city. More people will feel identified with these spaces.

"What I am waiting to see is how far humanity will go by mixing with technology"

Has living/commuting in London influenced this body of work in a particular way?
 
Of course. How? I don't know. But I believe that everything I do, where I live, how I feel influences the way I work.
