Between Charcoal and Code

We live in a curious era. In the same day, we can draw with charcoal like the ancients in caves and, shortly after, generate images with a single click using artificial intelligence. We are suspended between two worlds — one with the scent of earth and paint, the other built from data and algorithms. And you know what’s most amazing? We can live in both.

It’s not about choosing between the past and the future. It’s about integration. Being, at once, an ancestral creator and a thinker of the now. It’s knowing that the charcoal that stains your fingers holds as much power as the code that generates pixels. One doesn’t cancel the other — they complement each other. And that’s where the beauty of hypermodern art lies: the fusion between human and machine, without losing the soul.

But there’s a warning hidden in the midst of all this modernity: don’t let technology think for you. Don’t hand over your critical thinking, your sensitivity, your natural creativity to just any programming. Artificial intelligence is a tool, not a substitute. It can expand your vision, but it should never be your gaze.

Use the robot, the smartphone, the software — but with intention. With awareness. With art. Make technology your portable studio, your 21st-century brush, your expanded workspace. But never forget that the one who truly creates is you.

Because, at heart, being a hypermodern creator means this: walking with one foot in the ancestral fire and the other in LED light, connecting instinct and innovation, clay and code. It means looking at a screen full of possibilities and still remembering that your hand, your gaze, and your story are irreplaceable.

So yes: draw mystical lines, use charcoal, use robots. Make art with everything. But never let any machine, no matter how advanced, replace the most powerful thing within you: the power to imagine, to question, and to create with awareness.
