AI Street Art Exhibition Paris – Ctrl+Art+Del by Kike Nandez

Limited Edition Prints Now Available

Why I Created an AI Street Art Exhibition in Paris

Ctrl+Art+Del is my AI street art exhibition in Paris — and it began with a reflection in a puddle.

A flood had left behind muddy reflections and soaked graffiti — but in one of those puddles, I glimpsed more than a street mural. I saw a question:

What if art could escape the wall and become its own reflection — free, moving, untouchable?

That moment sparked a journey. A few years later, with the emergence of AI as a creative tool, I felt the same pull I did when photography first entered my life — not to imitate reality, but to amplify the stories I wanted to tell.

Ctrl+Art+Del results from that exploration — an artistic reset.
The Centre Paris Anim’ Musidora in the 12th arrondissement of Paris presented it in October 2025.

Each image in this exhibition is available in a limited edition of 25 signed and numbered prints. These are not just images — they’re fragments of a global, poetic, digital soul.

So real, it almost disappears. Hyperrealism doesn’t shout—it vanishes. The brush becomes skin, the eye forgets it’s paint. In this perfect illusion, we begin to doubt our vision, drawn into the fragile tremor where reality and art dissolve into wonder.

How I Use AI in My Street Art Exhibition in Paris

These aren’t “just AI images.”
Each visual you see in Ctrl+Art+Del began with an idea, a story, a location I’ve walked through or dreamed of. I used AI not to escape artistic labor — but to refine it.

Every artwork combines:

AI-assisted visual composition, layered with prompts from my memories and photographic practice.
Photorealistic depth and grain, inspired by analog photography and urban decay.
Digital street art illusion, mimicking spray textures, sidewalk reflections, wall weathering.

Take “Pluie Intérieure,” for example — the sadness in her closed eyes, the trembling reflection in a puddle, the London grime — all of it orchestrated to feel real, even if it never existed.

I don’t just build images — I build echoes of feeling.

This Is My Voice, Not My Tool’s

I’ve always believed that art isn’t about technique — it’s about presence.

AI, to me, isn’t a shortcut. It’s like a new type of lens. Just as photography helped me see in light and shadow, AI allows me to paint in memory and emotion. It gave me the power to create scenes that once only existed in dreams or metaphors.

In this exhibition, I wanted to take you on a journey:

Through cities where souls are etched on walls (Paris, Londres, La Havane).
Through emotions mapped like rain (tristesse, renaissance, envol).
Through questions of contrast: chaos/order, nature/city, solitude/connection.
Through shared dreams — from Macondo to Orwell — that shaped our collective imagination.

And finally, I end with an unfinished mural — a blank line. Because I don’t believe in last statements.
I believe in inviting others to continue the story.

Conclusion

Ctrl+Art+Del isn’t just an exhibition — it’s a reset. A CTRL+ALT+DEL for the artistic soul.

With every image, I’ve tried to reimagine what creativity looks like when we stop fearing the tool, and start using it to express what only humans can: emotion, contradiction, fragility, joy.

Each artwork is available in a limited series of 25 signed prints.
If one of them speaks to you, know this: you’re not buying a product —
You’re collecting a piece of my voice.
