Synthetic God is the first work in an ongoing series of techno-mythological paintings examining the collision between spiritual archetypes and synthetic systems of power.
The central figure references Ahriman, the destructive force within Zoroastrian cosmology, reinterpreted here through the lens of artificial intelligence and contemporary technological culture. Circuit-like structures and fractured symbolic systems frame the figure within a contemporary cosmology where technological mediation increasingly replaces direct human experience.
The work explores themes of synthetic consciousness, mediated reality, and the transformation of spiritual structures within technologically governed societies.
