Philippe ORSERO began his artistic journey in the late 1990s, following training in visual arts and an immersion in digital technologies. Winner of the first prize from the City of Montpellier (1999), he explored 3D, video, computer-generated imagery, and 3D printing from the very start of his career. His work, nourished by sacred iconography, contemporary science, and cyberspace, questions the transformations of body and mind in a world saturated with images, data, and artificial intelligences. His hybrid style blends painting, photography, transfers, installations, video, holograms, and algorithms, adopting an evolutionary approach in which each work can exist in multiple states. He favors mixed media: canvas, aluminum, digital or holographic formats.

An anecdote: Virgin is here!, created in 2006, already foreshadowed debates about AI, long before they reached the mainstream. This work diverts the Virgin and Child through a post-digital reinterpretation. A hybrid female figure, painted in vibrant colors, seems to emerge from a morphing software. She holds a realistic baby, like a human child born from an artificial womb.

The message fuses the sacred, advertising, and digital language, raising a burning question: Where does creation begin and end in the age of machines?
