Introspection to Catharsis is a collaborative exhibition by artists Sue Daniel and Robert Karpa. This show explores the intersection of abstract painting and artificial intelligence, creating a powerful dialogue between human emotion and machine interpretation.

Sue Daniel’s deeply personal abstract works are in a constant state of evolution, shaped by life’s ongoing challenges. Her paintings emerge through slow, meditative processes and emotional impulses, layered spontaneously to create a conversation between control and surrender.

In response, Karpa introduces AI-generated interventions that appear to engage directly with Daniel’s visual language. With a background in editorial portraiture, Karpa brings storytelling to abstract art by creating AI-generated faces that reflect his interpretation of Daniel’s work.

Starting with a concept shaped by age, emotion, and atmosphere, he generates AI images, upscales them for large prints, and refines them in Photoshop. This fusion of technical precision and intuitive response creates a new form of portraiture, where technology meets traditional art in a shared exploration of meaning and emotion.
