SERIFA: Munich Duo’s AI-Assisted Distorted Portraits
SERIFA is a creative studio founded in 2021 just outside Munich by Nastassja Abel and Christian Otto. They’ve shifted from their previous work as editorial designers known for book covers to creating unique AI-enhanced visual art. Their work features abstract and ambiguous designs that blend human creativity with the unpredictability of AI. You’ll notice their signature style includes distorted faces, flowing organic shapes, and a bold mix of dark and neon colors, all with a grainy texture. They explore themes like anonymity, darkness, spirituality, and imperfection. Their art has been featured in Vogue and Unity Magazine, and you can buy prints from their online shop. They draw inspiration from fashion, Japanese culture, and editorial typography.
