The Channels
Each channel documents a distinct state.
The work begins with an act of channeling.
The process begins with almost nothing - sometimes a word, sometimes only a feeling. There is no predetermined image, no destination. Artificial intelligence becomes the medium through which the search unfolds.
One image opens into another. A detail becomes a path, a path becomes hundreds of variations. Guided by intuition, the process moves through thousands of possibilities - an infinite visual maze with no known center.
There is no knowing what is being searched for. Only the feeling of getting closer.
Somewhere along the way, the images begin to hold something internal - the essence of something felt before it could be seen.
AI is not used to execute a vision, but as a medium through which the unknown can take form. Each choice is intuitive, leaving countless other paths behind.
Within that exchange - between intention and surrender, choice and the unknown - there is something divine.
Eventually, the search becomes still.
One image remains.
From there it is released as a single one-of-one work, or as a small numbered edition. Some stay in the artist's collection and are never released at all.
Select one-of-one works are released live, one event at a time, in the Live Salon. Entry is by invitation only.

Daniela Krol
Daniela Krol's relationship with art began before she could fully understand what being an artist meant. At five years old, after attending art classes from an early age, her teacher gathered her works for a first solo exhibition.
Art has been the constant ever since. Across years of work in creative direction, advertising, fashion, image-making and poetry, she has kept making by hand, and a body of physical paintings from across this time is held in a private collection.
Krol describes herself as highly sensitive, taking in emotion and the world around her with unusual intensity. The work tends to arrive from these heightened states, of desire, discomfort, obsession, intimacy, contradiction and transformation.
She began working with artificial intelligence in 2022, and it has become a central medium in her practice. Each piece she releases carries not only an image but a particular state, a moment and the technological era it was made in, held either as a one-of-one work or a small numbered edition.
Channeling is the practice, and it moves through whatever medium the work calls for. The channels hold both physical and digital pieces, bound by the same intent: channeling a current state of being, or a question. The AI works are AI-generated and then digitally painted, mixed by hand. She generates the images, then fixes and paints over them digitally until the piece settles.
Each channel is a drop. This is the full archive in one place: one-of-one works and small numbered editions, newest first.
