Louis-Paul Caron

France

Louis-Paul Caron is a French digital artist whose work explores the connections between ecology, art and digital technologies. He studied digital arts and film at the Design Academy Eindhoven, École Boulle, and ENSAD Paris, and today develops a narrative and cinematic image-making practice inspired by nature, climate, and possible futures. Through painting, video, and generative AI, he creates contemplative images that evoke change, denial, and the ecological tensions shaping the world we inhabit. His practice is grounded in the concept of solastalgia - the distress caused by climate change - and unfolds a poetic vision of landscapes in transformation, marked as much by collapse as by renewal. By combining classical techniques with digital processes, his work invites reflection on how we perceive, inhabit, and interact with our environments and technological tools.



Louis-Paul exhibits his work in numerous art galleries such as the NFT Factory, IHAM and Galerie Charlot. A recipient of the 2026 Villa Albertine “Art in the Age of AI” award, he is currently developing a residency project focused on the wildfires of Los Angeles. His work has been exhibited internationally, including at Art Basel, in Seoul, New York, Milan, and Art Dubai.

Summer 2003

Summer_2003_Louis-Paul_Caron_3D.mp4

The perfect weather, a serene seaside: lay down on the beach and enjoy the heat. This artwork invites viewers into the artist's childhood memories, which resonate today with a haunting joy. Inspired by a place in Bretagne where the artist spent every summer as a child, this tableau is like an old postcard that lingered too long in the sun, gradually losing its shine. Through its faded hues and haunting imagery, the artwork intertwines personal recollections with broader societal concerns.

More on digital art

Generative art
Generative art refers to a way of creating artworks using an autonomous system. In digital art, these are usually generated from code and algorithms created by the artist, often with certain predefined parameters or systems. Although these parameters guide the final outcome of the work, generative art is generally a surprising way to create artworks, as the results are often unexpected and the number of possible outcomes can be infinite.
AI
AI art is a branch of generative art that uses artificial intelligence. Unlike other generative artworks, AI artworks use specific complex algorithms and models derived from machine learning. The most common methods for creating AI art today are GANs (generative adversarial networks) or proprietary prompting platforms such as ChatGPT, Sora, Midjourney, or Dall-e.
3D
3D art uses 3D software such as Blender, Cinema4D, Houdini, or video game software such as Unity to create works of art. In 3D works, artists can either arrange assets (the 'objects' in a 3D artwork or world) that they have created themselves or purchased from other creators to create elaborate environments and scenes (an approach to 3D art called 'set dressing'), or specialize in sculpting, which involves creating their own objects and assets.
Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry is a specialized 3D technique that allows 3D objects to be created from numerous photographs taken of an object or scene from multiple angles. These photos are then compiled to determine the specific positioning, shape, and dimensions of the object in space, and then converted into a 3D model. Initially developed for engineering and urban planning, photogrammetry has become a way for artists to produce extremely accurate 3D models from real-life images.
Collage
An extension of the traditional, plastic approach to collage, digital collage involves searching for and cutting out multiple images, extracting them from their original context, and recomposing them in a new arrangement to create a work of art. Artists can use their own photographs or find images on the internet.
Illustration
Digital illustrations are created using software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or Procreate. As with drawing on paper, the artist uses a stylus to sketch a figure or object, usually on a tablet, to construct a scene or artistic universe. Unlike traditional drawing methods, digital illustration is much more forgiving, as mistakes can be easily corrected and drawn elements and objects can be easily moved around within a scene.
Video
Video artworks primarily use a recording camera, but may sometimes include additional post-processing or editing to distort, modify or add additional elements to the image. Some artists use state-of-the-art recording equipment to create macro zoom-ins or time lapses, privileging fidelity to the subject matter. Others use additional softwares to significantly modify or warp the video, creating an alternative perspective on the world that surrounds us.
