Henry Daubrez, a Belgian creative director, bridges the gap between technology and storytelling. As CEO and Chief Creative Officer at DOGSTUDIO/DEPT, a multidisciplinary digital agency, Daubrez balances a career in marketing with a flourishing artistic practice. By night, he transforms into an innovator in the art world, using generative AI to reimagine iconic narratives and create introspective visual works.
Daubrez’s art often explores melancholic and surreal themes, drawing inspiration from literature such as Moby Dick and Alice in Wonderland. His work pairs classic storytelling with modern AI tools, allowing him to craft visuals that evoke deep emotional connections. Through platforms like Objkt and SuperRare, he has built a reputation for blending traditional artistic direction with AI’s unpredictable creativity, describing the process as akin to “directing a movie.”
Incorporating blockchain technology, particularly the Tezos network, Daubrez also emphasizes community and accessibility within the digital art space. His innovative approach to AI art and storytelling invites viewers to reflect on the intersection of human creativity and machine collaboration.
