Profile
Dr. Formalyst is a visual artist, designer, and coder based in Madrid.
He works with video, performance, and digital media, using tools like generative CGI, motion capture, and AI. His practice sits between figuration and abstraction, and between human expression and machine logic. Each piece begins with the body — through dance, gesture, or physical presence — and is shaped through a layered creative process he orchestrates visually within a digital environment that functions like a custom-built virtual studio.
His use of AI is not generative but transformative — a way to reframe and recompose material rooted in lived experience.
The result is a series of elusive visual stories — meant not to be decoded, but felt, sensed, and intuited just beyond the edge of comprehension.
He is represented globally by MF&TL in Paris.
