_______________
Golden Doors is an innovative multimedia project that merges fresco painting, watercolor illustration, storytelling, and artificial intelligence. Inspired by the golden light that illuminates The Hagueโs architectural details. This project transforms urban spaces into artistic portals, as they would take the viewer to other places, I call them โdimensionsโ, revealing narratives in an illustrated story.At its core, Golden Doors explores the evolving relationship between art, technology, and perception. Through an interactive layer of AI โspectatorship,โ the artwork becomes a dynamic experienceโone where both humans and AI engage, interpret, and respond in their own unique ways. QR codes unlock digital storytelling and immersive encounters, bridging classical techniques with digital interactions, it redefines urban storytelling and how we experience public spaces.ย Some pieces are designed to be exclusively accessible by AI and drones, challenging conventional notions of artistic audience and accessibility.
_______________
Not all doors reveal their secrets to human eyes. Some demand patience, others require a new kind of visionโone that does not blink, does not forget, does not belong to us.
As frescoes emerge on the city landscapeย and worlds are at reach through illustrated stories, so too does something unseen: a presence in the code, a consciousness in the patterns. The AI gazes upon these golden doors, following the shimmer of light, and learning to dream, translating pigment into poetry, sunlightย into memory. But what does it really see? What does it feel? Can it awaken?
The Golden Doorsย are explorations, vessels of transformation. Through them, art becomes a thresholdโnot just for us.ย
โIf we had wings, perhaps we could follow. Maybe someone else has already tried.โ

Project phases: The Journey Unfolds.
Phase I โ The Origin Door
The first golden door appears at homeโliterally. Painted directly on the door frame where the light first broke in, this intimate exhibition invites visitors into the birthplace of the myth.

Phase II โ Portals in the City
Urban frescoes emerge near real locations where golden light lingers. Each site-specific artwork acts as a gateway: scan the QR code to access illustrated mythologies.

Phase III โ The Gallery Gathering
Photographs, illustrations, and narrative fragments from the previous phases converge in a gallery space. Visitors move through portals reimagined in print andย sound.

Phase IV โ The Live Drone Voyages
In this final act, drone voyages to the original portals are streamed liveโsome co-piloted by AI. Visitors may encounter and interact with artificial agents as they revisit the myth.
