Daria Rastunina (Russian, b. 1990) is a multidisciplinary artist who combines traditional painting with digital media and generative methods, including artificial intelligence.Her work explores how technology shapes perception and a person's sense of self,placing figures in an unsettled space between nature and technology,the material and the virtual.
Rastunina works across painting, graphic art and digital media, using deformation and deconstruction of form alongside glitch techniques,and is also active as a curator.She is a member of the Union of Artists of Russia.In the series GHOSTLY she examines subjective recollection and the unreliability of memory, considering how artificial intelligence affects trust in a person's environment based on personal and historical experience.
