Xebius (Manuel Camino) — Málaga, Spain

“Tools are ultimately just means to an end—they should support, not replace, the artist. I’ve seen instances, particularly with AI, where the tool overshadows the creator, and that’s a real concern. For me, the creative intent always comes first; I begin with a feeling or image I want to convey, and then identify the technology that can best realise it. Mastering that tool is part of the process—if I don’t know it yet, I will focus on learning it.”
