I am Erik Eskedal – a professional artist and photographer exploring the intersection of mind, machine, and nature. I have recently been using artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance my photographs to get closer to my original visions. 

ALL images are based on my original photographs. 

Part of what sets my work apart is this strict grounding in reality; my digital art is never generated from thin air, but from my own art and observations.

As an eternal optimist, artist, and photographer, I seek to share a uniquely happy perspective with the world.

My roots are in drawing and illustration – which allows me to see the world naturally (in shapes, patterns, and compositions)

Raised by an artist and a psychologist, and formally trained in Visual Arts at the New England School of Art and Design, my work continually seeks to pull subconscious energies to the surface.

Whether experiencing moving meditation while driving an 18-wheeler, or drawing on my background in Reiki healing and blockchain technology, my diverse experiences shape how I view the world.

My traditional photography, enhanced by AI, has been exhibited globally—including selections for The Dalí Museum in Florida and the San Francisco Bay International Photo Show.

As a photographer, I react to each separate raw moment.

Rather than trying to dictate a specific story, my aim is to remove subjects from their conventional context and place them within their own space and time, allowing you to assign your own meanings to their simplicity.

my work is an invitation to look closer and find beauty in unexpected places.
