PAUL KIRBY, Painting Robot Dulcinea

" . . . A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art does not.”
— Leonardo da Vinci

What if Leonardo da Vinci were alive today and wanted to combine his love of machinery with art? What would that look like?
Painting a new way: Inspired by Renaissance masters and a desire to fuse art and science, I wondered if it was possible to build a machine capable of creating elegant brushstrokes. From this my painting robot, Dulcinea, was born. As true partners, Dulcinea and I work together to create one-of-a-kind artworks. Each painting captures the unbridled creative passion and demonstrates the power of fusioneering. With a fully articulated wrist, layers of brushstrokes represent the actualization and genius of a vision, years of programming hundreds of thousand lines of code, and masterful paintings. "After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in aesthetics, plasticity, and form. The greatest scientists are always artists as well.” — Albert Einstein
