*Portrait Robot* is a parody of current “generative AI” programs that create images from natural language descriptions. Taking the opposite direction, this work places the emphasis on silliness, openness and culture.

Who is represented in the Finnish National Gallery’s collection, and how? In *Portrait Robot*, monarchs are mixed with mythological figures, scientists, thinkers, artists and their families, anonymous people, etc. In the background, we see landscapes, interiors and architectures from all around the world. Masterpieces are mixed with first studies and unfinished artworks; well-preserved paintings with damaged sketchbook pages.

All in all, this project is a deep exploration and celebration of the collection, from the artworks that are at the center of the exhibitions, to the ones that are not on display or rarely seen by audiences. The result is a sort of facial composite (“portrait-robot” in French) of the Finnish National Gallery’s portraits.
