01 / The originals

It begins with
a real piece of metal.

These are photographs of the physical works. Copper blooms, smoky colour and fine reaction marks form a composition that cannot be repeated exactly. Select any image to look closer.

02 / Art in a room

One plate.
A whole atmosphere.

A single composition, enlarged to the scale of a wall. These AI visualisations explore how the artwork could live in a room; they are design concepts, not photographs of completed installations.

A different rhythm.

Continuous murals, repeating motifs and rearranged tiles. Explore possibilities for a wallcovering project, with scale and print preparation agreed individually.

03 / Wearable art & objects

The surface
takes another form.

Shells, leaves, flowing fragments and everyday objects carry the palette of the original works. AI product concepts show directions for future prints and pieces.

04 / Sixteen interpretations

Look closer.
Find another world.

Sixteen digital compositions, each inspired by a different plate in the original panel. The texture leads; animal and botanical forms emerge quietly within it.

View all 16 interpretations

AI interpretations of the artist’s original work. These are new digital compositions, not photographs of additional physical plates.

05 / Personal symbolism

A story within
the surface.

Zodiac signs, birth-year animals and botanical symbols become creative themes. Browse the symbolic studies, or discuss a personal composition rooted in your own story.

These are artistic interpretations inspired by different symbolic traditions. Dates and source calendars are agreed for personal commissions; no protective or predictive effects are claimed.

06 / The maker & the process

Human intention.
Nature’s response.

Modern Metal Alchemy is the work of Evgueni Semenov, the creator of an author’s process he calls turbo patination. He developed the equipment, materials and approach through hands-on experimentation.

The artist establishes the conditions and responds to the surface. Chemistry and physical transformation contribute their own movement, edges and colour. Each finished plate records that encounter.

“Knowledge grows when it is given away.”

The technology is shared as an invitation to explore and create. The finished artworks remain individual compositions.

01 / MATERIAL

Prepare a surface

Metal and the deposited layers establish the starting point for each study.

02 / TRANSFORMATION

Work with the reaction

The artist explores how chemistry, heat and the physical surface influence colour and structure.

03 / COMPOSITION

Follow what emerges

Gestures and reactions become a whole work, or the starting point for a digital interpretation.

Before you enquire

A few useful
distinctions.

Which images show physical artworks?

Images marked “Original photograph” document real artworks or the studio. AI concepts and digital interpretations are labelled separately beneath each image and in the enlarged viewer.

Can I commission a work or license an image?

Contact Evgueni to discuss a particular image, intended use, dimensions and destination. Availability, pricing, production and licence terms are confirmed individually before an order.

Are the wallpaper and clothing designs ready to order?

They are visual concepts. A production project requires confirmation of the artwork file, scale, material, colour sample and finish. This website accepts enquiries; it does not take online payments.

Can I learn the MMA process?

The approach is shared as an open creative technology. Contact the creator about equipment, materials and appropriate workspace requirements. Kit contents and availability are confirmed individually.

07 / Start a conversation
