Daniel Ambrosi is a California-based visual artist specialising in digital and AI-augmented art. He studied at Cornell University, where he received a Bachelor of Architecture and a Masters in 3D Graphics. During the 40 years since graduating, he has practised digital art, and starting in 2015, with engineering assistance from Joseph Smarr (Google) and Chris Lamb (NVIDIA), developed an enhanced version of Google’s ‘DeepDream’ technology, that has allowed him to create his large-scale immersive Dreamscape series.

Ambrosi’s practice is deeply informed by the history of landscape painting, finding particular inspiration in the works of the grand format landscape artists of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Europe and the later nineteenth-century Hudson River School artists.

This artwork was originally produced as one of twelve artworks for Ambrosi's first solo exhibition in Europe, Daniel Ambrosi. AI and the Landscapes of Capability Brown, which took place at the flagship gallery of Robilant+Voena in London, 6 October - 15 December 2023. In April 2023, Ambrosi visited Blenheim, one of the historic heritage sites with a garden designed by Capability Brown in order to gather photographic source material for his exhibition.

Ambrosi attempts to translate the fullness of a landscape experience from one that takes place in four dimensions of space and time into a two-dimensional art object by employing bounds, a point of view, and the use of visual metaphors. Ambrosi wields his custom AI tools as an intelligent paintbrush that over the years he has learned to coax in increasingly sophisticated ways to manifest his signature style of 21st-century mark making.
