Diego Castro also known as MONOMO, is a London based CGI/AI artist that focuses on digital creation, utilizing his architectural background along with an Exceptional Talent endorsement from the Arts Council in the United Kingdom.
His mission is to recreate futuristic, bio-focused concepts through CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) and AI CLIP (Contrastive Language Image Pre-Training) Diffusion Models. His AI-generated artwork, Synthesized Nature, examines the intricate relationship between nature and society.
His vision is to forge a present and future where organic structures function symbiotically, blending seamlessly with their surroundings. This results in fundamental systems that emulate natural environments, leading to a synthesis where the boundaries between nature and society become indistinguishable. He aims to create a perceptual distortion, challenging the invisible limits separating the environment and society.
MONOMO’s narrative aspires to inspire the audience to envision a world where nature and society coalesce effortlessly. In this envisioned future, humans draw inspiration from nature and cultivate a sense of respect for it.
His artwork has been showcased in various prestigious exhibitions, including notable venues in London such as Saatchi Gallery and W1 Curates, as well as in New York’s Times Square Billboards, and across cities such as Venice during the Venice Design Week, Paris, Berlin, Oxford, Chicago, Madrid and Dubai. Additionally, he has been the subject of several online publications including Forbes & Decrypt, and featured in the LG Gallery+ official release.
